I'm curious if you still have that drive to read my entire opening post or not.

In regards to the Buddhist notion of "non-self," if we should treat our own selves as though they don't exist, then that means we should treat other s...

It's bad to live a life of feeling bad, even if bad feelings were used to inspire others through artwork.

But, my philosophy says that feeling bad is no way to live or be an artist. So, that would have to mean feeling bad can only be bad, according to my p...

I'm not sure if feeling bad is required to feel good. After all, in the past, I hardly felt bad, and I mostly felt good throughout my life until, year...

I am saying more than this. There are emotion theorists who put forth the emotion perception theory. According to their theory, emotions are perceptio...

We can use bad feelings however we want. But, my view says that feeling bad can only be bad, regardless of how said feelings are used. So, if someone ...

My personal experience has led me to the conclusion that feeling good is the only good thing in life. My previous post I just made explains why.

Now, just in case anyone didn't read the updated note to reader in my opening post, my philosophy says that perceiving someone or something as good, b...

Yes, it would be a good thing for that serial killer to pursue his positive emotion, and I don't care how dangerous and dumb my philosophy sounds beca...

I didn't understand what you said. Could you clarify?

Another person could feel horrible about the idea of that serial killer continuing to pursue that emotional response. So, that person would see it as ...

The post, in of itself, isn't good, bad, beautiful, horrific, etc. It's just a post. But, the post becomes good for those who feel good about it, and ...

My post would be bad for you if you felt bad about it. But, if another person felt good about my post, then it would be good for that person, since it...

If you felt bad about my post, then you'd be perceiving the post as bad, which would make it bad in your eyes. If you felt that way about my post, the...

In regards to good and bad, they're actual things. Good and bad are nothing more than value judgments, and value judgments are actual things. They're ...

I already did talk about how thoughts influence our emotions, since I said thinking certain ways causes us to feel certain ways. For example, I said a...

We can still make choices in life regardless of our emotional state. Even though intellect is no real source of value, I can, for example, still choos...

I am saying they are the same things. Reread my opening post which explains why. My OP also says to pay very close attention to your emotions and you ...

Emotions would be things such as feeling panic from being in a dangerous situation, a feeling of excitement from going to the carnival, a feeling of r...

All I can say here is that I would need a new personal experience to convince me that I can value things in my life through my intellect. So far, I ha...

I don't recall a single given moment in my life where thoughts and beliefs allowed me to value things. My positive emotions have always been the only ...

Now, I'm going to share the religious form of my worldview. I'm sharing and preaching this for anyone who can relate to it and is willing to listen to...

But if you struggle with a mental illness that renders you with a chronic absence of positive emotions, then you are in serious trouble because this w...

All I know is that my positive emotions are states of mind where I perceive things in my life as beautiful, great, and amazing. Without my positive em...

I define positive emotions as happiness though. So, if you felt positive emotions, you would be happy for the time being until you become miserable la...

Here is a new and better post: Proof That Our Emotions Are The Perception Of Value: I talk about how our emotions allow us to perceive value. Many peo...

*post deleted*

Our positive emotions are the only things that can allow us to like and enjoy things. Therefore, if you were completely depressed and you couldn't fee...

But people can be delusional and in denial of their own personal experience. Just because people claim they are perceiving and experiencing real value...

People live by false values all the time. There are, for example, people who believed in Thor and these values that say we must worship Thor were all ...

The idea that our basic emotions are value judgments is supported by skeptics and neuroscientists. I know you would disagree with the idea of our basi...

But pleasant and unpleasant emotions are value judgments which means they give our lives value since they allow us to perceive value in regards to cer...

Just as how there is no moral and intellectual form of, for example, physical pain, physical pleasure, sight, hearing, smell, taste, heat, cold, hunge...

Please reread my opening post since it is my new and improved best explanation of my worldview.

I still don't agree. Let me post a conversation I had which gets my point across: Other Person's Response: Feelings are very important elements of our...

This is a notice for anyone who wishes to respond to my absolute best summary of my worldview. I have edited my opening post to make my worldview cohe...

I will now present something that supports my whole worldview which supports and objective (intrinsic) good and bad. Positive thoughts have to line up...

In addition to my previous reply I recently made to you, I would like to say one last thing here which is an interesting analogy/story. If there were ...

I never said that my life was the worst. All I said was that I have had emotional trauma and nothing worked for me to give my life good value and wort...

I can assure you I have experienced emotional traumatic events. These emotional traumas have put me in states of complete misery. I have, in fact, had...

Been there and done that. I have already been crashed down by the worst misery and hopelessness of my life for a whole 10 year struggle. Nothing has c...

I don't care how weak I am. It is nothing important to me. From my perspective, character strength simply has no place in this world. It is only my po...

However, if I did find myself in a state of complete anhedonia or misery and it lasted most of my life, then if someone very compassionate came into m...

When there is an argument/debate between two people with two entirely different worldviews where one throws out accusations and name calling and the o...

Then what we have here is an agree to disagree scenario. Personally, I think that living a life of character strength alone can only be a life where y...

Even if I was a weak person, how could you blame me though? I am convinced that no character strength or anything else can replace my inner light. Per...

First off, I do not agree with your definition of weak because I have my own defined terms. I define good and bad different than how most human beings...

Such challenges that induce negative emotions would only serve to focus on situations and things themselves and to focus away from my own inner light ...

During my miserable moments undergoing emotional trauma, I have still chosen to remain in this life anyway to get the help I needed. So, that was inde...
