It's because it makes things much more convenient for me. Lastly, psychologists often divide emotions into two categories: intrinsically positive and intrinsically negative (i.e. feeling good and feeling bad). I have every reason to think this division is true based upon my own personal experience. After all, positive and negative, good and bad, light and darkness is a well known concept in many movies, anime, artwork, etc. Feeling good and feeling bad is an actual quality of good and bad.
You've got it wrong. Good and bad are descriptions of things which we like or dislike, and no more. To say that descriptive words have "qualities" really is nonsense.
I've mentioned this before and you didn't respond I believe-- to say that feelings are "intrinsically" good or bad is gibberish when in that context, since they are DEFINED that way.
Check it out: a "dog" is a 4-legged mammal with long canine teeth, etc. etc. (you can fill in the rest)
My "discovery": My beagle, Victor, is intrinsically a dog.
