About this Quote

This quote by Jean Baudrillard suggests that our emotions are not always authentic. He indicates that even the most powerful emotions, such as love, courage, and cowardice, are frequently impacted by external elements. He recommends that our sensations are not always true, which they can be misshaped by our own reflections. This could mean that we typically predict our own insecurities and desires onto our emotions, making them less genuine. Baudrillard's quote suggests that our feelings are frequently a reflection of our own ideas and desires, rather than a real representation of our feelings. This might be viewed as a warning to be aware of our own predispositions and to be conscious of how our feelings may be affected by our own reflections.
