“…all emotions generate feelings if you are awake and alert, but not all feelings originate in emotions” (p. 143).

“The automated somatic-marker device of most of us lucky enough to have been reared in a relatively healthy culture has been accomodated by education to the standards of rationality of that culture” (p. 200).

“…to know does not necessarily mean to feel, even when you realise that what you know ought to make you feel in a specific way but fails to do so” (p. 211).

But this is an interesting concept. The fact that emotions have a huge impact on other areas of the brain functioning implicates that certain emotions could make an already existing condtion worse or better. High hopes and positive outlooks about ones condition or state of being could help in their recovery or healing. While depressed, stressed, or worried emotional states can cause complications to get worse.

Oh, and I’ve heard that it takes more humans to create one emotional creature if they’re lawyers.
