the supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses, often involves many thoughts. But do we truly understand what others are thinking or feeling?

Looking through the open eyes of each face, one can see an apple, ladybug, or hot air balloon. Yet, the question remains, "What am I truly thinking?"
