Also, thoughts and emotions are a different thing. A thought is just an idea or some words going through your mind while emotions would be euphoric and dysphoric states such as feelings of sexual arousal (a euphoric state) or a feeling of hopelessness or misery (a dysphoric state).You're commenting on inner conflict. As we commonly describe it, a disparity between the head and the heart. More accurately, it's a disparity between the head...and the head.
Sure, I experience inner conflict. I think we all do. I also experience inner concordance. Still no heavenly choir.......
