Tell them that you're doing to define God, as discussed by Spinoza in the Ethics.

I'll explain... if you do it. Pretty please.

what does it mean for a human to feel?
Why is it that the molecular state of the brain creates a "feeling"? What is a "feeling"?

Proposition 11: God, or a substance consisting of infinite attributes, each of which expresses eternal and infinite existence, necessarily exists.

Demonstration: If you deny this, conceive, if you can, that God does not exist. Therefore (By Axiom 7) his essence does not involve existence. But this (By Proposition 7) is absurd. Therefore God necessarily exists, q.e.d.

I imagine that you would stick to defining the terms in the definition, making use of the relevant axioms and definitions presented in the book (rather than, say, explaining why the proof makes sense. It totally does, btw).

I enjoyed this post

Also, attempt to define "love," you could compare its representation in modern day society (material objects define the love), and the actual "feeling," like the affection/ desire to be together, and how they are similar/different
