I haven't lived very long, but so far in my expirence love and grief have made me feel most human. There are plenty of other feelings that connect me to life & the beauty of living, but love and grief seem to be the most potent.
Do we appreciate these emotions because they make us feel complex & beautiful, or is it because of the pure, visceral intensity of the feelings themselves?
I asked AI, and it told me it would never biologically be able to understand what it feels like to experience an emotion. That made me cry.
