I found the connection

I found the connection between the I-function and feelings to be interesting, in that the basis of our storytelling comes out of a basic set of feelings. In truth, I found this to be quite unnerving because feelings for something or someone can never be absolute. One day you may feel admiration or love for an object/person, and the next day you may not. It seems as though feelings have a fickle nature. I would say that most of how we live our day to day is based on feelings that have no basis in anything concrete, and are most of the time made up. For example, a classmate may state an idea that you feel is inappropriate, and this may change the way you feel towards that person, even though you may not know their reasoning behind stating that idea.
