Just so we are talking about the same things: ·mo·tion (-mshn) n. 1.A mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes; a feeling: the emotions of joy, sorrow, reverence, hate, and love. 2.A state of mental agitation or disturbance: spoke unsteadily in a voice that betrayed his emotion. See Synonyms at feeling. 3.The part of the consciousness that involves feeling; sensibility: “The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect” (Isaac Bashevis Singer). tru·ism (trzm) n. A self-evident truth. See Synonyms at cliché. What are emotions? They are feelings. What are their causes? Chemicals in the body and stimuli interpreted through the senses. Although we feel a range of feelings/emotions, we have a limited number of words to describe these feelings. Are we all describing the same thing? I doubt it. Do we even always describe the same things about ourselves when we use the same words? Probably not. Truisms really don't enter into this, as far as I am concerned. Love is only a word. Words are inexact attempts to label phenomena. In the case the phenomena of feeling. Could there be any more inexact task?
