Evolutionary primary emotions.
Other goals have social origins so that the vervet monkey which acts fearfully and alarm cries when it detects a predator is benefiting its group though exposing itself to danger. Presumably, the communication of such emotional information constitutes the evolutionary origin of emotions themselves, for the simple reason that to express an emotion you must actually experience that emotion. Oatley and Johnson-Laird argue that one can begin to understand the diversity of human emotions by examining how emotions function to organise social activities and relations. They take there to be a small class of significant events in the social life of an animal: 1) the formation and termination of attachments between parent and offspring; 2) acceptance or rejection of bonds between mates; 3) behaviour towards rivals, and towards prey or predators. On the basis of these members, they propose that the following constitute the evolutionary primary emotions: 1) Happiness which occurs in successful attachments and may have distinct modes depending upon whether the attachment is parental or sexual; 2) Sadness as a result of separation from an attached individual; 3) Anger as a precursor to aggression and which may have distinct modes depending upon whether it is directed at rival, predator or prey; 4) Fear as precursor to submission to rivals, flight from predators or to novelty; 5) Disgust as a precursor to rejection. Oatley and Johnson-Laird have thus provided the beginnings of an answer to two of the three fundamental questions asked of emotions: What do we feel? what do we do? What are the physiological bases for feelings and acting. ===================

"Using a computer program to morph people’s faces into a range of different expressions, the team created a series of pictures for each of four ranges of sentiments: happy to fearful, happy to sad, angry to fearful, and angry to sad (see image for a sampling). The group then randomly showed the children various pictures, some expressing a single emotion but the majority representing a combination of at least two different feelings. When asked which emotion the person in the picture was experiencing, all of the children identified happiness, sadness and fearfulness in similar ratios. Abused youngsters, however, recognized anger much more often than did their nonsuffering counterparts. "The abused children were more sensitive to anger," Pollak notes. "It may be the case that physically abused children develop a broader category of anger because it is adaptive for them to notice when adults are angry." http://www.waisman.wisc.edu/faculty/pollak.html
Paul Ekman’s research found seven emotions have universal expressions: enjoyment, fear, surprise, sadness, contempt, anger and disgust. METT trains your eyes to spot these emotions automatically.
In under an hour you will learn how to recognize very brief expressions (1/5 of a second). Such micro expressions reveal concealed emotions. $29.95

It is very important to say clearly to yourself and others what you want and believe in.
Concentrate on what ;you want, not on what you don't want.
Your thoughts create the framework on which the subconscious mind builds your reality.
Where you focus your mind becomes your reality!
39 It would seem very important to focus on positive thoughts, that focus on keeping you happy, healthy and wise. [Did they read Proba95?]
WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES NOW!
Thought is neutral until you associate an emotion with it, once a thought has emotion associated with it, it gains energy to create action.
The emotion is what energizes the thought and motivates you into ction. The type of emotion you associate with the thought determines the type of action or response.
What can I learn from this experience and how can I use this to help me live a happy fulfilling life?

Many of the names for expressions that might occur to us as universally recognizable are simply other names for sadness, anger, joy, fear, disgust, or surprise. Worry for example, is a less intense version of fear. Sternness is a mild version of anger (as is, perhaps, stubborness). Disdain is a restrained version of disgust. Terror; astonishment, and apprehension are all synonyms for fear.
