"All that matters in writing is feeling, however we have not properly defined to feel, and more important, what a feeling is."
There are many apparently not accurate sentences here so I'll proceed to explain them one by one.
The first one has been already noticed by our sharp reader and is that the matter of writing seems not to be all related to feelings. There are two possible ways to argue that it is, the first one is saying what has already been said and try to make panegyric with feelings. Is utterly absurd to make such a thing. The second one is to said that everithing that matters in everything is about feeling. That seems absurd, but it is not as this is the chosen path. As the sharp reader has noticed once more, my argumentation is "as this is the path chosen, then it cannot be absurd". That's correct, I'm just been sincere and honest. Of course this is not the only argumentation that is needed, the one that says that everything that matters is about feeling is the important the most.
You can perfectly say that you (or he or she) are (is) happy. But saying is not proof of being happy. Of course, there are other verbs that can be used in the same way, for example "to pretend". Again, as the really sharp reader must already noticed, the verb to feel is related to another one, "to be". And also, to be something, in this case, happy. If, however, there is a reader that is not only sharp, but utterly intelligent (or [this is an inclusive 'or' also signified as and/or] has read "The Game of Logic"), he/she knows that is impossible to be an attribute. In this case, and attending to simplify this argumentation, we will ignore this linguistic advise.
So, excluding the verb "to be" -based on das sein question-, the only one that can proves being is to feel. If you feel pain, then it exists. If you feel that someone is hitting your face, is real. Of course, this reasoning lead us in front of perception matters, but we will avoid them now. I will expose just one example in order to not extend this until the infinite and to clarify the last causal relationship between feeling and writing. As it is impossible to define what writing is, we will do as Borges said and not to try to define the essential things (poetry). The lacking relationship is simple: the matter of writing lies behind the one who reads, and his/her reaction. This reaction exists only if it is felt. Thus, the matter of writing is about reading, therefore about feeling. It is senseless (not to confuse it with nonsense) to write something that will not be read, even though it could has been thought like Hobbes did.
Now the second question: What is to feel? What a feeling is? A feeling is the impression that you have right now: tedium, boredom, etc. To feel is the action of having it inside; if for any reason you have it outside is not to feel it, but something else. Finally, as the sharp reader must noticed, this text goes nowhere.
All the matter in the world is how much that I like you.
