Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[bennyboy]

Yup, you're definitely the emotional cripple in the equation.  You can't do what others are plainly capable of doing.  You can't see what others are plainly capable of seeing.

Some worldview, some transcendence.  Did you keep the receipt?

On 2nd thought, perhaps you are right here.  From my perspective, I thought that people who struggled with hopelessness and misery such as those miserable genius artists were simply living by a false definition of a positive experience and good value/beauty in their lives when there was no actual quality of it there.  But you are saying that there was an actual quality of it there for them and that I do not have this quality due to my disability.  That quality is what I metaphorically described as being the inner light.  The inner light is a quality of sheer goodness and positivity itself that goes beyond words.  It would be no different than how a blind person cannot have any real quality of red, green, or blue in his life and can only live by the words red, green, and blue in his mind since he cannot visualize those colors.  For me, my own inner light and inner darkness would be my positive and negative emotions while the inner light and inner darkness for other people would be something different.

Oh, I see what this is.

I also enjoy LSD.
