Feelings can be understood through feelings.

A feeling has no body, no eyes, no lips. There is no sound, no smell, no color. Yet that formless feeling—it touches the mind, brings tears to the eyes, makes the chest tremble, and can radically change life. You are sitting alone, there is silence all around, but suddenly a face comes to mind, and from that memory, an inexpressible wave begins to ripple inside your chest. This is the feeling—which cannot be touched, cannot be seen, can only be perceived in a secret room within yourself.

The most important things in this world are actually beyond our senses. For example—love, pain, anger, attachment, hatred, or deep hope. We cannot touch any of these with our hands, see them with our eyes, or show them to anyone by saying, “This is my feeling.” Feeling is that world where every person is alone, lonely, exclusively his own. In this sky of feeling, each person's climate is different, their inner response or silence is unique to them.

But the most amazing thing is that even if the feeling cannot be touched, that invisible object drives people the most. A person can dedicate his entire life to just one feeling. The love that parents carry for their children has no image. A lover waits awake at night for his beloved, hoping to see her just once, but he cannot show that feeling to anyone—he only carries it inside himself like an unfulfilled desire.

The depth of feeling is understood through feeling—this is the greatest truth. Many times you say something, but no one understands its seriousness, because they do not experience that emotion. And sometimes someone looks at you without saying anything, just looks into your eyes, and you understand—he loves you. This language-free understanding is the silent expression of feeling, where the mind speaks to the mind, the eyes reflect the eyes, the heart hears the words of the heart.

Sometimes it happens that you are in a lot of trouble, but someone sits next to you and just keeps quiet, not saying anything—yet your trouble decreases. Because, in the presence of that person, you understand his feelings. Even if the feelings are not expressed, their scope is deeper than words. This is the true beauty of feelings—even if they are not expressed, they can be much more clear. And only he who knows how to feel himself understands that.

Not everyone understands this secret language of feelings. Many people look for logic in everything, wear the glasses of logic and want to see love, measure relationships by the criteria of convenience. But feelings do not follow those rules. They forever remember the same feelings of unknown times, find refuge in some faces, some words, some silence. Many people may say, “I don’t understand, why do you suffer”—they do not understand, because they have not learned to feel. And the one who has a stream of feelings in his heart, can hear the cries of others’ hearts in addition to thousands of words.

Therefore, feelings are never captured in description. The poet's pen, the artist's brush, the musician's melody—all try to touch him. But his full form is never captured. That's why the poet fails, yet he writes poetry again and again. The artist fails, yet he paints on the canvas. The lover fails, yet he stands silently holding the hand of his beloved. Because, the attempt to express feelings is the ultimate form of love, although that attempt repeatedly leaves imperfections.

And this imperfection again gives perfection to feelings. You enter into an invisible bond with the one whose feelings you enter. No one can see that bond, but it binds, deeper than blood, going deep into the soul. Many relationships may break, distance may be created, but if the feeling is true, then it persists on a secret level. There may be no more communication, no words, yet somewhere or other two people continue to feel each other—even in the midst of silence.

This is why, feelings can be understood through feelings. Not with logic, not with calculations, not with language—only with the heart. If you can truly feel someone, even when they are silent, you will understand what they are saying, what pain is hidden in their eyes, what love is hidden in their silence.

This is truly the most subtle, the rarest gift in life—to understand the language of one heart to another, without any words. And those who understand this language of feelings are actually the most human, the most profound, the most true. Because feelings—even though they are invisible to the eyes, they are what make our lives the most meaningful.
