Beautiful new words for describe obscure emotions

(Abstract)

John Koenig loves finding words that express our unarticulated feelings — like "lachesism", the hunger for disaster, and "sonder", the realization that everyone else's lives are as complex and unknowable as our own. Here, he meditates on the meaning we assign to words and how these meanings latch onto us.

I don’t know what to say about that speech apart that I totally agree with John Koenig. The only thought I was thinking listening to this ted video was “Yes, it’s true!”

Words have the power to make us see the world in a way. Why in one way and not in another? Because a world is like a perspective. A perspective of something or feelings.

Those words are made by people like us. So finally, the words we created to define things and feelings, define us because they represent our perspective and our feelings.

John Koening says that some words are missing to express our feelings. That’s true, but because people still haven’t created them.

That’s just a question of time!
