Another interesting post, @slowwalker, concerning elusive facial expressions of Arhats that say so much more about the human condition.

There is an emotion that cannot be spoken - it is so deep it is beyond words. The Romans called it lacrima rerum which literally means, tears for things. It speaks of the inherent sadness in our transitory existence.

But there are modern expressions too - such as the Portugese word, saudade, which is a deep emotional longing that cannot be voiced. It is literally a feeling of missingness.

In our pursuit of reality and enlightenment there is a profound experience that cannot be communicated, only realized.

A thought-provoking post, my friend.
