- Ah, but how do they know these feelings are godlike? Have they been
- gods that they know the feelings of one. Why are not feelings like
- awe and satisfaction referred to as godlike? Personally, I feel that
- feelings themselves are divine. Feelings are the universal language
- between cultures and even between species. The feelings humans share
- with their pets are an example of the latter, "I hope the Russians
- love their children, too" is one of the former.
