The entire human emotional spec...Good Post Charles.<br />The entire human emotional spectrum can be reduced to two basic models: love and fear. And fear diverges into anything that is not love, e.g., shame, lust, embarrassment, just to name a few.<br />Fear can be dealt with as means to self-development. Having 'no fear' is (sometimes) considered noble or manly or whatever, but being truly fearless is insanity.<br />Mark Twain said, "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear. It is <i>not</i> absence of fear."<br />The behavioral psychologist Robert Sapolsky has researched how a component of the brain called the amygdala informs our emotions to what should register as a fearful response. His youtube lectures on related subjects is worth watching, good stuff.John Vesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434740196022601040noreply@blogger.com
