Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Transcended Dimensions]

But in order for one's life to truly be good without positive emotions, then that would require the inner light to take on another form.  In other words, it would require a different type of positive state of mind.  There must be an actual quality of that positive state there.  As I said before, there is a big difference between definitions and qualities.  Just because you define a positive state of mind to be there doesn't mean that it is really there.

Must I again point out the irony that you on the one hand say that words don't change the reality of emotions they're just words, but on the other hand insist on referring so positive emotions as the "Inner light" as if those words make a fucking difference.

Your religiousy metaphor is not attractive. I tried to help you. But it's pointless.

Yes, feeling good is good on the surface. But there's more to it than that. The long run is important and minimizing suffering is more important than being a hedonist. I already pointed out that a bunch of people partying while everyone around them is suffering when they are perfectly capable of helping those people would be immoral, not moral. In a word you're very myopic.

I'd also like to mention that neener neener I'm more enlightened than you are, so suck it.

I refer to positive emotions as being the inner light, but as long as there is no real quality of a positive emotion there, then I am still just using words here. Words alone are just words.  They don't hold the power of a positive emotion to make our lives anything.  They are just mere instructions to help us make decisions and whatnot.  But, I really do think you need a positive emotion in your life.  You also talked about positive experiences earlier.  If you had no positive emotions, then you would need a positive experience to truly make your life good and beautiful.  But, again, even a positive experience is a quality.  If you define a positive experience to be there when there is none, then your life would still amount to nothing since you need an actual positive experience there.  That was my whole scenario.  During my worst miserable moments, I had no positive emotion and no positive experience.  Therefore, my life was completely empty regardless of the fact that I have still believed it to be a good and beautiful thing to get help and change my life.
