You are not your feelings

[reeay]

I certainly experience feelings in regards to events but I can only see them as pleasure or pain. Anger and sadness are but the same emotion to me, with sadness only lacking conviction with all else still stemming from a reaction of not preferring an experience. I can only see this as simply pain. All else being pleasure, e.g. happiness, excitement, etc. They are just subjective levels to describe pleasure and pain, are they not? In the it's binary, you either accept or reject something.

Meaning of particular emotions may be context specific. How do you explain masochism?
