Brent which of the following portray 'feelings' and which portray
'emotions':
I have a ( ) my uranium shares might go up soon

God exists. If you don't agree then you must be a freakin &+*&&*I
I had a ( ) that someone was trying to manipulate me
I had this ( ) that things will work out OK between us
God does not exist. If you can't reason that you must be a &^*H*$!-AT_SYMBOL-
I'm suggesting that emotions are tethered to survival need and
protection of values etc.
There is radical brain-chemistry change of state under emotions
They have a physical effect on the organism having them that can be
spotted easily by a 3rd party
Feelings are mildly intellectual sensations of value that we have that
give us a compass for general decision-making (not warefare or survival)
Not the same chemistry involved at all
