Now, the reason why I make a distinction between a thought/belief versus an emotional state is because, in order to have a positive emotion, then that requires the biochemicals to be functioning (i.e. serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin). Otherwise, you can't have positive emotions. For example, a feeling of love is a euphoric state and that requires those biochemicals to be working. During my worst miserable state, I could not have a feeling of love or any other positive emotional state due to those biochemicals not functioning. I thought/believed otherwise, but that did not work. This means that, in order to have any positive experience and any real good value perceived in your life, then that requires those biochemicals to be functioning in order to produce that positive emotional state that would allow you to truly perceive good value, beauty, and a positive experience in your life.

I am not the only one who has this worldview. There are others out there like me. So, it would be me, along with them, who are not the deluded ones. We are the few and proud.
