As Victor Hugo said it is really difficult for people to express emotion and it is especially hard when we want to express our feelings through the language. However, all people feel and show emotions from time to time. ... According to Bernstein (1971: 23), there is evidence that both repressing and expressing our feelings too intensely can be dangerous, not only for our health but also for mental condition.
To talk about ways of showing feelings and using the language during that process, first we have to establish what “emotions” are. Calling emotions, such as love, anger or fear is really much easier than giving their complete definitions. To tell the truth not all scientists accept existing definitions of particular feelings. However, most of them agree that emotions are different from rational thinking (recognition), information collected through senses (perception) and knowledge stored in our brains (memory). Although feelings are believed to be something different and independent they co-operate with all other functions of human’s mind. Every kind of explaining feelings must take into consideration three factors:
- what evokes this kind of emotion;
- how the human body and mind react for the feeling or how the feeling is expressed;
- how our physical and mental reactions influence on further living through emotion. ... We can talk about feelings and take them into consideration in three different meanings:
- as a specific state of mind which can be sensed positively or negatively;
- as a mental process connected with satisfying our lofty needs;
- as our general and permanent attitude about a subject , ideas or people.
