[OT] 5 Emotions

I prefer a three emotion model:

Apathy
Fear
Spite

People are generally apathetic, and tend to keep doing what they're doing unless they fear some negative consequence. And spite is cool!

Well, maybe not the best model...

I think selfishness is a good opposite for real love.

And as to the original list, guilt and shame seem pretty closely related as does revenge and hate. And for what its worth, revenge seems less like an emotion and more like a desire.

If I was goin to list emotions, I could think of some basic ones not on the list:
Joy
Happiness
Tranquility/emptiness
Fear
Amusement
Anger
etc., etc.

I would hesitate before sending anyone to that particular psychologist.

And for what its worth, there are really more than even 5 senses, for example most people have
- sense of hot/cold
- sense of direction (including up/down)
- sense of enclosement/openess
