Human emotion\motives figured out....
This might be old news to some people but to me it's amazing since my friends and I realized this on our own, and it's so simple...
We got into a discussion over what drives most people to do what they do and after taking each emotion down to its root, we figured that PLEASURE and the avoidance of PAIN was at the root of everything we do. Now some people have different definitions of what pleasure and pain is but you get the idea.
We went a step further and decided that all pleasure stems from the survival instinct, that when you satisfy that survival instint you are rewarded with pleasure, and the pleasure is telling you you are surviving. That might explain why a heroin addict only cares about heroin since its stimulating the pleasure centers of the brain far more than anything else could for that person. I could elaborate further but then I might be reiterating a previous post..... I'd love to argue over this.
