One thing that I was thinking about, especially as many people have posted concerning the neurobiology of mood in its role for perception is what about thinking of mood as language?

Much of language, at least according to some linguistics, is part of a subliminal system of signs in which the I-function shares no part.  Instead, languages evolve undirected and spontaneously.  Some of us can probably think of an example of language occuring without words (e.g.  body language), but what about thinking about the variety of moods that we are bestowed with by nature in terms of signs that can be used to create an elaborate system of communication, not only with each other, but what about nature as a whole.  If it is true that mood bears a role on perception, then couldn't our perception of nature (our reality) be translated to someone else in a pattern of moods (e.g more sad than excited, but more excited than bored) 

If this is true and moods act as signs in a language, then couldn't our moods be more universal (shared) among each other than we would like to admit previously?
