Emotion - Etymology: Education is Key To Spirituality

We are schooled to know about our society and nature but not about ourselves, especially the nature of our mind and our spiritual potential.

Even as adults and senior citizens, we remain ignorant of the mischievousness of our mind and the magnanimity of our heart.

Our outward inquisitiveness is rarely turned inward, except at moments when we are struck by grief or crisis. Even those sombre moments do not kindle inward inquiry but leave us in sad quietude. Thus, we continue to be slaves rather than masters of the mind.

Emotion - Etymology: Encyclopedia - Metaphor

In language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin) is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. In a metaphor, a first object is described as being or precisely equal to a second object. Thus, the first object can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second object are used to enhance the description of the first. This device is exploited in literature and especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context can powerfully ...

Emotion - Etymology: Encyclopedia - Limerence

Limerence is a state of mind that, in standard English, is often referred to either as "being in love" (as distinct from "loving" someone) or as infatuation. The term "infatuation" carries connotations of immaturity or fatuousness, while "limerence" is intended to separate these connotations from the emotion. However, this intended separation does not, by itself, mean that the two are fully separable. Also, to the extent that its usage has carried over from pop psychology to non-technical usage, its meaning seems to lose the intended precision so that it becomes a mere substitute fo ...
