in our fictitious world, that usually means that I have accepted the values of those around me, that I think the way that they do. How did the meaning of senses get switched around thinking, and arrive at judgement, and opinion?
Sensing is pre-verbal. As an infant, I sensed my hunger, sensed the rough of my father's coarse serge suit, and the smooth of my mother's face, before I knew the words that label them. I felt them. Now, I mostly use the words and feel nothing.
