With feeling. Which is good and which is bad to me. Is this good to me. Is this bad to me. How does this make me feel. Good. Or. Bad.

And a little bit of self-understanding as to whether something is helping you (feeling) or hurting you (feeling, or helping those you love (feeling) or hurting those you love (feeling), or just generally being undefinable and leaving us uncertain until we either take a leap of faith to reach a conclusion, or wait for more evidence as to whether something is bad or good before we take a leap of faith to reach a conclusion, which may or may not be negotiable.
We are machines. 0s and 1s. Yesses and nos. With the ability to feel, either for ourselves, or for others, or for both: we can accomplish compartmentalization along lines of 'bad' and 'good', and create for ourselves (or learn it from others teaching us bad from good):
Morality.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
