Are feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, joy, and happiness considered to be emotional states. If so, it is hard to believe that these states are the result of “having an action blocked” which the previous post and Powers (B:CP, 2005, p, 256) indicate is required “before the state would truly be called emotional.”
If positive emotions such as happiness exist, they seem to be a result of goals/references being achieved rather than being blocked.
In short, it seems as if the Powers chapter on emotions is focused on negative emotions and ignores positive emotions.
