Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Edwardo Piet]

I'm enlightened.

TD will tell me I'm not. You watch

I'm also kind of serious. Being enlightened in a totally secular way is really no biggie.

I will try yet again and this time it will be different.  There are two forms of value judgments as I've mentioned before. 

Oh, only two?  Not three or four, five being right out...and you're sure that you aren't taking about the same thing when you discuss thoughts and emotions? You;re sure that some value judgements are purely one or the other of these proposed categories, and not both...and you think that there are people living lives where they are devoid of the one which you show preference for?

Who, where, about what? Perhaps an -example- would be useful?

You just decided to quote and object to that small snippet I've written.  Read the rest of that post and you will understand where I am getting at.  It should clear up these objections of yours. There shouldn't be any problems here and I'm not sure why you are just choosing to give me a hard time when it is so unnecessary.

Usually when I snippet, it means what I snipped off was irrelevant.

You're better off not attracting her attention.

-because none of the rest of it matters unless that snippet is true, TD.

Her?

She's a she and she's ignoring me?

Well I must admit I don't have much luck with women.

I'm actually a really nice guy (and modest too) and I must admit I've been rather rude and brash so far so I'm hardly making a good impression of what I'm actually like. I just feel super frustrated because TD is presenting this theory about emotions and I don't even understand emotions.

I will now present something that supports my whole worldview which supports and objective (intrinsic) good and bad.  Positive thoughts have to line up with positive emotions and negative thoughts have to line up with negative emotions since positive thoughts make us feel positive emotions and negative thoughts make us feel negative emotions. From there, value judgments of good value make us feel positive emotions such as thinking it is a good day today while value judgments of bad value make us feel negative emotions such as thinking something is horrible. So, you have a positive thought which is just a positive thought and then you have a positive emotion which is intrinsically positive like a positive charge.

You then have a negative thought which is just a negative thought and then you have a negative emotion which is intrinsically negative like a negative charge. To take it one step further, you have a positive (good) value judgment and then you have a positive (good) emotion which is intrinsically good. From there, you have a negative (bad) value judgment and then you have a negative (bad) emotion which is intrinsically bad. If a good or bad value judgment did not make you feel a positive or negative emotion, then there could be a number of factors as to why. Other than that, they do make you feel positive and negative emotions. Even if these positive and negative emotions were induced by other means such as drugs rather than thoughts, then they would still be intrinsically good and bad emotions.

Lastly, positive emotions would be feelings such as joy, love, and excitement which are states of mind induced by the brain's biochemicals (serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins).  They would be states of euphoria.  Negative emotions would be feelings of dysphoria such as a feeling of sadness, despair, anger, or misery.  Having no emotions at all would be like having no charge at all.  It would be a completely neutral lifestyle where you are neither motivated in a good way by a positive emotion nor motivated in a bad way by a negative emotion.

Negativity has worked better than positivity for me i get the opposite reaction with positivity.

Then I'm just not understanding the problem here.  All I am asking is for you to fully read that post and then get back to me.  If there is still that problem, then we can work it out.
