Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Transcended Dimensions]

You could feel a positive emotion such as a feeling of excitement from the idea of going to the carnival while, at the same time, thinking it is a good idea to not go to that carnival.  Also, thoughts and emotions are a different thing.  A thought is just an idea or some words going through your mind while emotions would be euphoric and dysphoric states such as feelings of sexual arousal (a euphoric state) or a feeling of hopelessness or misery (a dysphoric state).

You're commenting on inner conflict.  As we commonly describe it, a disparity between the head and the heart.  More accurately, it's a disparity between the head...and the head. 

Sure, I experience inner conflict.  I think we all do.  I also experience inner concordance.  Still no heavenly choir.......

Then I'm not sure what the issue here is and why my worldview is not getting across.  I first pointed out that there was a difference between thought and emotion.  Sometimes, there can be that inner conflict as I've pointed out and other times there can be no conflict.  You could just have one type of emotion while having a certain type of value judgment.  I then said from there that it is our emotions that allow us to perceive good and bad values like how a sighted person would visualize colors.  It is having this type of "sight," if you will, that is everything to our lives.  Without this "sight" (or, what I call "value vision")," then your life can be nothing regardless of what you believe otherwise.  You would be living by a no quality standard without this value vision.

Again, making wise decisions is still vital even without any emotions or the respective emotion to allow you to see good and bad values like how a sighted person would visualize colors.  So, if your goal was to not have the most intense positive emotion of your life for only one moment and to instead have positive emotions throughout your life, then such a wise decision would still be recommended.

Your theory doesn't account for this though. If emotions are intrinsically good and bad... then it's intrinsically good to go for positive emotions regardless of how 'wise' it is. And if emotions are intrinsically good and bad by what criterion can you decide that having less intense emotions for a longer period of time is 'better' than having only one emotion intensely for a a few moments... if 'better' can only be judged by an 'intrinsically good positive emotion'?

You're smuggling in other values like 'wisdom' and 'less intensity over a longer period of time is better than more intensity over a shorter period of time' ALONG WITH your judgement of 'intrinsic goodness' being down to only and solely 'positive emotions'.

I will go by my god analogy again. Even without the holy light of god within you, you could still make wise decisions anyway and these decisions would still be recommended. But it is no way to live without that inner light.
