>doesn't understand the inability to separate interpretation from sensation

>doesn't understand that one of the functions of language is to provide useful arbitrary separating concepts such as interpretation and sensation
Outside of language there IS NO difference between interpretation or sensation, it would even be useless to talk of sensation because there would be no such distinction between sensation or non-sensation either. But that is not what we use these terms, terms such as 'sensation' and 'interpretation' to convey; these terms are used in order to provide distinctions crucial to the possibility of life, and they can be arbitrarily defined, broadened, or sharpened or retracted in whatever way is necessary to be conducive to life or whatever purpose we need them for.

this is kinda a load of stupid /r9k/ shit

>I am just a flawed human who wants someone to accept me for nothing more then I am
Impossible. A loved one does not see you for "who you are" any more than your parents, you friends or strangers see you. They are all given conditioned representations of you. Your friend sees x y z in you, parents see a b c in you, lover sees g h j in you. They are all the products of prioritising, taste etc. This is a sort of yearning in the individual to be wholly known in his "entirety" by the other, it's natural but it's an illusion.

>but I still want and possibly deserve another person to accept me.
Seeking affirmation through others instead of the self. Sounds g00d bro.

what is this gradeschool nonsense doing on a literature board.
