So much of what we do is downstream of how we feel

Sometimes, the more rationally we justify our actions (to others, and to ourselves), the more irrational the justification is. But just because the justification is irrational, it doesn't mean that that justification isn't real - what we feel is very real

Truth is a bodily reality of feeling, not a theoretical concept.

This is why stories are so powerful - through stories, we use words to transfer the bodily sensation of truth that we feel into someone else.
This is why we often say something "resonates" with us - because we feel it.
