The Separation of Ideas and Emotions

There is a very specific way I am trying to communicate. Someone shared with me their form, so I have adapted it from theirs. There is a difficult problem with communication right now. True communication, as in the sharing of ideas. The problem is that our language is imprecise and emotional. I fully understand that all sorts of emotions exist around certain words and ideas. So I want to differentiate between the general idea of a word, and the very specific idea of a Word, which is more a placeholder for the concept I am talking about. There are certainly times for emotions, and for understanding our emotions around different concepts, but I do like to differentiate when I am speaking one way vs another. Please, feel free to ask questions about my style or writing if desired.
