It sounds like feeling should always be momentary, sensuous, and even useless. I'm an irrationalistic person and strive to fight against the danger of irrationalism. But feeling is one the essential elements of a human being and it mustn't be ignored. Feeling can be caused by rational knowledge, unproved assumption, and/or intuition which may be discussed in theological terms.
Feeling is doubtable and we have to doubt it. We must be on our guard not to be deceived by false feeling without any reasonable basis. (Even good intuition comes in unreasonable terms at times. That's hard one to talk about in human language.) But still it is not to be ignored, and it is sometimes enjoyable and beautiful, which can prompt us to show more kindness to others and make our life sweet.
I would like you to refer to the other messages of mine on the board and on Moonlight Chat. Thank you for this opportunity to think over the subject. Take care.

Gee, does my opinion bother you? does that sound too melodramatic, I hope not, I should have added or emphasized the word 'individual sensuous experiences'.When we feel a feeling we are more likely to be emotional by the trigger point then we start to analyzing and it becomes our perception of which situation and then it accommodates the level of rational mind. I afraid that I am not sure your meaning of solem feeling of that person. Is that a kind of respect or uneasy discomfortable feeling for being closed to him ? anyway ,somehow ,your feeling can be developed from intimacy and your self acceptance of the person in your life .Otherwise,you feel him as an absolute stranger.Unfortunately, I don't have capacity to analyse your solem feeling.But the reason i say sensual, momentary experience is "people feel before they think or act" and they fight for their unrealistic temptation for countless- time.You can be a good liar or damn cool calculated -actor in the public but we can't vanish a tug of war between feeling and rational mind innerside.Moreover our facial expression cannot hide them as a perfect crime....As i've said already, there is no definite outline for each feeling, you sensed it and you 've got it. Feeling can be faded away and you can't hold your feeling forever as same depth or degree. It possibly can be deeper,closer by time passing but is changeable concerning how you perceive the moment or issue....
Take care~
