there are things that simply lack description yet we are able to experience them. its sort of like trying to describe a color to a person who has never seen it himself. you can provide all the techinical details about pixelation or the wavelenght of visible radiation. but could the person ever really see and envision the color without ever having seen it for himself? its an interesting dillema, and it speaks to the nature of reality. is it what we understand it to be, or is it so foreign to us, that this reality is simply an attempt at rationalizing the impossible.

Definition is not everything. Explanation isn't everything in some cases. It is an option of what you want to believe. But just to show you something that I highly doubt you can explain, but give it a try and the other guys as well.
What makes you like big breasts?
Yeah I thought about it too and came to the conclusion it was an instinct. There was nothing I could think of but instinct.
Because you can't define your desire, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

What if we define stuff because they don't exist; and we define them so we will think that they exist?
Wouldn't it be "funny" if we found out that all we define does not exist?
Cogito, ergo sum? I think, therefore I exist? What if it's the other way around?
Are we really here? Is the real you here or there, or anywhere? Is there such thing as the real you? If so, and if it's not you, are you unreal? Can unreality seem real?
After all, nothing is what it seems....Or is it?

I don't.
Furthermore (taking from operationalists) if you can't define it's purpose (or "function" if you prefer) what makes you think it exists?

I don't. I'm not so easy to define...sometimes I'm not even sure that I exist!

Because existence was long before human language.

It's all about what you believe. Your values and morals define not only who you are, but what you believe to be right and wrong.

If I can see it and touch it with more than just the standard senses, that's enough for me...
