Understanding Emotions and Feelings

A significant distinction exists between emotions and feelings, which influences decision-making processes. While feelings are conscious experiences, emotions serve as foundational building blocks that impact those feelings. For example, being in love involves positive emotions like desire and lust, as well as negative feelings like fear and jealousy, which contribute to the overall experience of love. Recognizing this interplay enables businesses to create optimal environments that elicit the desired feelings through carefully curated emotional triggers.
