I feel that way at times upon reaching an understanding...

      a quantum word...
 
  Many possibilities can be covered by the thought behind the word. More words are necessary to define its use-at-the-moment-of-use to ACTUALLY convey the thought.  |

      It had better make sense if you expect understanding!

You said it much better then I did.  |

     something that you seek before being understood...  |

      An impression based on your own perception of the subject.
 
  When 'reaching an understanding' amongst a group of people, it is all sharing a similar perception of the subject.  |

      In terms of listening... if you can explain to someone else what they 'know' in such a way that they 'agree' with your explanation, then you have understood them.
 
  Plenty of people listen without understanding. Plenty of people think they 'know' without even listening.  |

Ah but with humans... One must be satisfied with a quantum range of perceptions. WE are like a beam of light... Which covers a spectrum not a narrow slit.  |
