Different perspectives are one thing โ like having opinions about a television show. You can debate whether the writing is brilliant or shallow, but you cannot prove that one feeling about it is true and the other is false.
Feelings are not facts, no matter how convincing they feel in the moment. You may believe cats are superior to dogs because you prefer them โ maybe a dog bit you as a child, and that memory shaped your comfort and trust. The feeling that dogs are dangerous might be real to you, but it is not a universal fact.
Facts describe what is. Feelings describe how we experience what is.
They often overlap, but they do not merge.
When you say, โI felt scared,โ that is valid. When you say, โIt was scary,โ that is interpretation โ a personal truth, not an objective one. What can be proven is what happened next: the choices you made, the actions you took because of how you felt.
Facts live in evidence. Feelings live in experience.
They are both real, but only one can be measured.
