Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Transcended Dimensions]

Now, I don't want to be insulting, but if you are OCD / autistic, it may be that your feelings and motivations are a little different than mine[...]

That may explain why I can half-understand where TD is coming from. Although she is still pretty nuts

By the way, in regards to your question earlier about how I could judge a moderately intense amount of positive emotions over time versus a brief period of a very intense positive emotion as being the better solution, the answer here would be that our rational/thought form of value judgments are actually not real value judgments.  Instead, I would be having the idea of it being a better thing to do, but I wouldn't be judging (seeing) it as a good thing as long as I did not feel a positive emotion from that idea.  Our thoughts themselves are just ideas of things such as the idea of food, water, smells, visuals, sound, etc. but they do not bring our lives those things.  They could certainly trigger a certain smell or sound, but they themselves are just ideas.  Therefore, it is instead our emotional value judgments which are the real value judgments.  But what about situations where wise choices need to be made though?  If you felt angry at someone, then wouldn't we say that you would be judging it as a good thing to not harm this innocent person?  We wouldn't.  Rather, we would say that you had the idea of it being a good thing, but you weren't actually judging (seeing) any real good value in that.  Nonetheless, we should still make wise choices anyway since they are ideas of avoiding harmful, bad situations and reckless deeds to ourselves and others.
