Every action has an equal or opposite reaction.
Every action also, evidently, has a human reaction - or more specifically, a human emotion.
For instance, an unpleasant job may induce anything from boredom to disgust, while reading The Daily Quota will inevitably induce the opposite - ecstasy.
Robert Plutchik spearheads today's edition of Filosophy Fridays for your Saturday mornings. Below, we have the 2D version of Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions.
Here, he attempts to visualize a spectrum of primal emotions. He has even provided a spectrum of intensity, going from the outside inwards.
Emotions generally also invoke secondary emotions - present only in humans; love, awe, remorse, and so on.
According to Plutchik, there are four 'polar opposite' primal emotions - joy and sadness, trust and disgust, fear and anger and surprise and anticipation.
That's apparently all there is, folks - in some form or another.
Sometimes one can experience every emotion, even in its extremity, simultaneously.
For instance, all of my lovers (plural? who am I kidding?) go through the same phases - vigilance, admiration and amazement, followed by ecstasy, and finally, a sickening mélange of rage, terror, grief and loathing.
Just work the steps, baby.
Below is a simple page that discusses Plutchik's Wheel and a supplementary table of primary, secondary and reactionary emotions.
