Okay. Now how about feelings versus sensations? As I used both terms in describing my view on the difference between feelings and emotions. Well, again only giving this just a try, by attempting to capture my own personal understanding into the confines of written language. Mostly for practical reasons. I genuinely hope that people understand what I aim to communicate, whether they agree with it or not.
What comes to my mind first when thinking of feelings versus sensations, is that feelings are a specific type of sensations. In that sense, sensations form a broader collection of phenomena than 'just' feelings. Experiencing visual sensations, sound sensations, smelling sensations or tasting sensations, would by probably nobody be described as having feelings. These sensations nevertheless might be strongly associated with feelings though, or trigger strong emotions.
Does this make any sense to you?
