Fundamental feelings makes us human

Our feelings are just feelings. Not necessarily good, not bad, just that, feelings. We have little affect on how we feel about something. They are so primal, so fundamental to what makes us human.

They go way back in vertebrate evolution, especially mammals. While how we feel about something is neither good nor bad, what we do about those feelings can be good or bad. This is where the good old brain, actually the cerebral hemispheres, comes into play. It has control over our behavior, which is what we do.
