You never cease to impress me with how you gush pearls of philosophy in your comments, in English which is not your native language!
Flattered by your appreciation as always my sensei
The last observation might be a good starter for your next post on language: in my case, and I know I'm not the only one, it's so much easier to think in terms of english than in spanish that my brain reversed, and most of the time I find myself thinking in terms of english and then translating into spanish (unless chatting of course). It's all about cognitive energy as you said so this is one of those cases in which laziness is my ally :D

I get what you mean actually. English is like a language of convenience. But I find that for matters close to my heart, I will instinctively resort to Mandarin to get my point across. Is it the same way with you?

I would say "surprisingly" not, but I think that for such complex matters that require maximum fidelity as you mean, english is even more instinctive for my brain because it's so much more flexible and expressive than spanish that it allows me to get those heartly feelings in precise words even more easily. And I think the same might be at play for you, since Mandarin is so flexible and expressive.
