What are emotions?

[roopepa]

So I've thought a lot about emotions. Why certain thoughts/actions etc. feel good and others bad? Why is there emotions in the first place?

I've come to a conclusion that perhaps emotions are like a compass, sort of a navigation system. An emotion which you percieve as positive, tells you when the present thought/belief/action is resonating, or in accordance of your true self, of who you want to be. Emotions you percieve as negative, tells you that the thought/belief/action is not resonating/in accordance of your true self, or the greater idea of who you want to be.

A feeling percieved as positive speaks of harmony. A feeling percieved as negative speaks of disharmony.

Maybe truth is not some statement, concept or a thing you can 'find', but a feeling, or recognized by feeling.

Any thoughts/perspectives on this?
