Understanding is nothing else than conception caused by speech.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We cannot comprehend what comprehends us.
It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life.
Our understanding is correlative to our perception.
Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
I don't think you have to have experienced things to understand them.
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears - when you give your whole attention to it.
I try to keep a balance between conceptional or intellectual comprehension and emotional understanding.
It's human desire to be understood. And we always feel we're not understood.
I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.
