Yes, I go to the gym and I play sports outside with my family as well as going out and enjoying nature in general. What else is there that you are imp...

I did not simply say that positive emotions are the objective good and negative emotions being the objective bad as that would be too simple. I also i...
September 25, 2017 at 15:16
How?
September 25, 2017 at 14:47
Actually, reread my opening post since this is a whole new explanation of my worldview that I think is much better.
September 25, 2017 at 14:12
My view would actually be an upgraded version of hedonism. Like I said, I called it "New Age Hedonism." A charge could either be positive or negative ...
September 25, 2017 at 11:59
I have never experienced the more complicated emotions, what I assume you mean to say a thought form of emotion (i.e. a thought that is an emotional s...
September 25, 2017 at 01:15
I personally think that our emotions are the objective good and bad regardless of what people think. People can have false judgments in regards to obj...

There are two objective values. The first type would be the ones that situations or people have such as saying that the harmful acts of a criminal are...
September 24, 2017 at 15:44
I would like to say one last thing here. My version of a sacred monk might sound like the most simplistic way of life and being. But simple solutions ...
September 24, 2017 at 01:19
Consider it my own personal definition of transcendent then. My positive emotions, for me, are transcending life force of goodness in my life. I would...
September 23, 2017 at 19:44
Actually, let me present to you a logical argument that should make my point clear. I will first start out with introducing what I have to say and I w...
August 29, 2017 at 03:33
By saying that, then you would be agreeing with my theory. According to my theory, pain would be our negative emotions and pleasure would be our posit...
August 28, 2017 at 04:01
Well, my theory is just pointing out here that, without wanting, then nothing can be of any good value to you. That is, nothing can matter to you in a...
August 28, 2017 at 03:07
I am going to present to you an experiment that can prove that things that are good to us can only be things that we want. If you were to set up an ex...

August 27, 2017 at 17:21
There is an objective form of wanting. It would be our positive emotions. Here, I will quote something that points that out: In order for my theory to...
August 27, 2017 at 05:04
I said that emotions are a sense dependent upon thought. When you have a thought (value judgment), then we could consider this to be nothing more than...
August 25, 2017 at 20:48
This is an important notice to everyone here. I have now modified my post to not only make my theory more coherent, but to also make it better. Theref...
August 25, 2017 at 14:11
Actually, please read my opening post again because it clears this objection up you are having. I have now modified my opening post to fully convey my...

August 24, 2017 at 21:52
I'm glad you finally understand my worldview. If this worldview is true, then it could change the world because most people currently believe that it ...
August 24, 2017 at 04:03
Go ahead and reread that post where I posted that logical argument. I have now made it much shorter into a very brief argument.
August 24, 2017 at 03:46
That's not the full insight. I established earlier that our positive emotions are like the sense of taste in the very beginning of my logical argument...
August 24, 2017 at 03:41
Sure, there might be things in the world that are objectively good or bad. But it is up to us whether we have good or bad thoughts in regards to these...
August 24, 2017 at 03:35
It would be a good thought the person is having. But, from our perspective, it would be a bad thought. We would have bad thoughts about this person's ...
August 24, 2017 at 03:31
Yes, it is my worldview. It is something I have learned from my own personal experience.
August 24, 2017 at 03:29
If it's too long for you to read, then I can present each individual paragraph I make and we could discuss them one by one.
August 24, 2017 at 03:21
Yes, I would take into consideration into whatever these falsehoods are. However, I am currently unaware of these falsehoods. Therefore, feel free to ...
August 24, 2017 at 03:16
Never mind then. I will just wait for someone else to fully read and respond to it. This logical argument fully explains the concepts I am presenting....
August 24, 2017 at 03:11
I understand your point of view. But feel free to fully read my logical argument I just made above and give your response.
August 24, 2017 at 03:05
When you, for example, look at nature, then all the information of the trees, rivers, etc. is flowing through your brain. The moment you get a positiv...
August 24, 2017 at 02:53
I actually have a logical argument that supports the idea that emotions are a sense. Let me know when you are ready to read it.
August 24, 2017 at 02:49
But I think emotions would still be a sense even though it is a different mechanism than sight. So, just because thoughts make us feel certain emotion...
August 24, 2017 at 02:46
For example, when you feel excited over a new video game or movie, that is a state of euphoria caused by a certain thought. That thought was, again, t...
August 24, 2017 at 02:40
The thoughts themselves can't be any emotions for us. They send emotional signals which make us feel emotions.
August 24, 2017 at 02:38
But my theory is that these higher emotions you are talking about do not give a person's life any real perception of value. I have a logical argument ...
August 24, 2017 at 02:35
I will add one last thing here. From there, I will present a logical argument that attempts to support my view. Let me know when you are ready to read...
August 24, 2017 at 02:02
From your post, we can gather that the one horse with the rational and moral impulse would be what we call the higher emotions. The second horse would...
August 24, 2017 at 01:12
All they can do is just wait and try things to help them recover their positive emotions even though doing said things cannot be perceived as having a...
August 22, 2017 at 23:37
Some people do not have their positive emotions due to mental health conditions such as anhedonia, depression, etc.
August 22, 2017 at 23:33
Who would want to live a life that has no actual perceived good value and worth? That would be a no quality standard of living since there would be no...
August 22, 2017 at 23:29
According to this effect chart, negative expressions, thoughts, and tones reflect negative emotions while positive expressions, thoughts, and tones re...
August 22, 2017 at 21:53
But do you agree that emotions are the only way we can perceive value in our lives? That's where my theory was getting at. I'm also not sure why putti...
August 22, 2017 at 21:39
Positive emotions, also referred to as "euphoria," are states of mind induced by the biochemicals in the brain (i.e. serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, ...
August 22, 2017 at 21:06
I'm not sure what you're not understanding. If a person judges himself as having the ability to see when he is blind, then he would still not be able ...
August 22, 2017 at 20:50
But that's only because of our wiring. We are wired to believe in this false version of value just like how religious people are wired to believe in t...
August 22, 2017 at 20:35
It doesn't matter even if you thought that the apple was good to you during a negative emotional state; you still would not be able to actually see th...
August 22, 2017 at 19:55
Please read my opening post since it has a very brief summary.
August 22, 2017 at 10:46
Actually, it would be like sight and hearing. There are objects and sound waves out there. But the only way we can perceive them would be through sigh...
August 17, 2017 at 20:51
I am saying that our emotions possess intrinsic qualities of beauty, joy, good, bad, and suffering that gives our lives a real perceptual quality of t...
