Do you understand?
When I said that you should still avoid harmful situations because it is still a good idea to avoid them even if you couldn't feel good, I meant it as purely an idea and saying that does not imply that rational value judgments are real value judgments of good value. I don't think that contradicts my view that our positive emotions are the only way we can judge things as good.
