We Do Need Words to Learn Things

We cannot talk about things we don't have words for.

I experience complex feelings from time to time and want more of them in my life. To achieve this I get to the idea of naming them so that I can think about them, and write about them, without the need to constantly remember or explain exactly what they mean.

There are two feelings and two words for these:

"Mighty-vibrant". I feel mightyvibrant.

"Mightyvibrant" implies a state where you feel a strong burst of life and energy, combined with a sense of personal strength and capability. It reflects a dynamic and powerful state of being, where you feel fully charged, capable, and in control, with a deep sense of personal accomplishment and potential.

  • Solving a complicated problem you knew nothing about is migthyvibrant
  • Providing your idea to others the way they clearly understand it and accept it from their understanding is migthyvibrant
  • Being able to handle a heat conversation and saving it with empathy and listening is mightyvibrant

"Aesth-effec-tia". I feel aestheffectia

"Aestheffectia" suggests a specific emotional state or experience that arises when you observe or engage with something that perfectly blends aesthetic elegance with practical effectiveness. It's the feeling of admiration, satisfaction, and a deeper emotional resonance that comes from seeing an elegant, well-executed solution or action – a synthesis of aesthetic pleasure and appreciation for practical utility.

  • An elegantly solved problem or beautifully designed system is aestheffective
  • A little touch to a complex system that solves big problems is aestheffective
  • Even wrong but fast and cheap decision that brings results and gives a new point of view to the problem are aesteffective sometimes
  • 20% effort for 80% result is aestheffective

These words might not mean much to anybody else but myself, but that is what reflects my sensations and it is what helps me understand them more.
