In that same sense, there is no good without positive emotions.This statement is inconsistent with your previous contention that there could be emotional good, and good of thought. If they are separate things, and can exist independent and even in contradiction with each other....then good without positive emotion is not only a possibility, but a an inevitability.
Amusingly, examples are easy to find. I know it's good to flush the toilet, but doing it doesn't make me euphoric. You manage to contradict yourself and reality in a single breath. Bravo.
