If you define care as those emotions only, then no, they don't... but you seem to have built a tautology. I'm probably still not understanding. Sure, people can learn to fool their brains. Or are you simply surprised at the behaviour?
And...I might be being very dense, but I am still not understanding the general point of this. Can anyone help me out?
Our care (incentive) has been defined through science as only being our pleasant emotions and not our thoughts alone as I said before. I struggle with depression and anhedonia (absence of all my pleasant emotions) and what I am trying to do here is find out if my life and the lives of others who also struggle with depression and anhedonia can still have good meaning.
