apple-shampoo,
I remember reading some place that the essence of being is care,care about ones own possiablities.I think too this is the basis of our feelings,no matter what the issues or circumstances,they all contain possiablities which might become our being.Depending upon whether we judge these to be benificial or harmful, so steered are our emotions.Stress,stress I would think could be understood as a generality,it is a chemical reaction manifesting as fear of,at verying levels,in general a discomfort,everything is not ok! It is first a cognitive evaluation,tiggering a chemical reaction.Well that’s my two cents.
apple_shampoo,
