Thinking vs. Feeling
How many emotions exist?
Are there primary emotions?
Some say there exist only four distinct primary emotions, like primary colors, and everything we feel in our lives is some sort of blend of these four, joy, fear...
Another surprisingly popular theory says there are only two emotional states, rage and non-rage...
Personally I think people are quick to label as emotional any reaction where they cannot recognize or remember their conditioning, and we constantly transfer what we have learned to other things and situations... Ever met someone and didn't like them even before they spoke a single word? That's transference.
