After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

“If we want to understand emotional experience in other cultures,” she said, “we should really forget these English categories like sadness, grief and so on, and try to look at what other people experience outside of this English vocabulary of emotion.”
Instead, she pointed to other methods that could take advantage of universally used word concepts — such as “good” and “bad” and “before” and “after” — to carefully construct definitions of these emotional concepts with a lower risk of bias.

Does anyone know the Japanese (or is Chinese?) word for the warm feeling one gets when in a public setting, not participating but feeling accepted just being there? i just cannot find it again.

I was just taught a lesson in the word for love as in (marriage) relationships, and Love of ones child is 2 different concepts. seems German, according to her, has different words for it. but not in English/Spanish.

I've had to learn a new language, not like in school, but to actually get important stuff done. It's a nice challenge.
