On my birthday this year I took a hike out in the woods, and at a certain juncture I stood atop a cliff jutting out over an inlet with a cool breeze blowing off from the water. It seems like a perfectly ordinary experience, but I found it to be a nearly perfect moment of tranquility. The thing that bothers me that there is no way for me to properly encapsulate my subjective experience in either words or pictures. Any attempt to do so will automatically lose something in translation due to other people not having the same frame of reference or mental state.

It's so inconvenient that human beings can't psychically broadcast their thoughts. :/

Very intersting point! It is a shame, isn't it? I think that, even if you can only get so close to expressing things in a way that is most clear and ideal, it makes the experience unique to all. Even though the viewer may not see it in the way you were hoping they would, it means something to them personally. Your experience becomes the viewer's and it allows not only for the viewer to understand how you value your experience, but they have the ability to add there own value to their experience.
