I over heard a friend saying, "of course Israelis are like that! Look at their language: they've got one word for 'happy' and 'eleven' for angry." It's obviously not true (well, the language part is true--13 'angry's vs 2 'happy's on wikipedia), but it made me think about how poorly words represent emotions sometimes. "Happy" is shown as this loud, flowery thing with lots of smiling and running around, but real happiness always happens to me like something really peaceful and warm.
