Have you ever wondered what a deaf child thinks? If he or she has no language lesson, what goes on in his or her head? Well, think about this, as you are reading this do you hear your voice in your head with your accent or dialect? Helen Keller is probably one the best example of this. I have always had this very comedic thought: if Helen Keller learned how to communicate in her early teens, what were her thoughts before then? Fnkvjnckjfdnvdkfj? No. I happened read her autobiography and she talked about how she would think in emotions and memories, and it wasn't until her first language lesson when she obtained reason. Moving onward...
Have you ever had an angry thought toward someone? You would possibly think, "I really hate John Doe!" Well a deaf person, with no language lessons, would recall the feeling of anger or rage, with the thought of John Doe. So your thoughts are just the brain recalling emotion and memories and piecing it together to create a final thought. So the next time you feel something toward someone, think of how it works in your head, you will better understand yourself as well as others.
Nice observation!
