“Baby yoda, baby yoda, this is your nurse droid IG 88, you know
better not to do that ! Your secondary emotion is transiting into a primary emotion, that could be very dangerous, do you Groku that?”
Yes, Prevention is better than treatment.
And Yes, it is the ultimate question of "Prevention vs level of Free Will"
as in education or legal structure.
Ever since we published "Teaching Good Morals in 60 days?! "
Part 1, 2, 3 from 2013 to 2017, we wanted to revisit the Secondary
Emotions Section.
We will not repeat what we published in those article, so please review
here if necessary for this article.
It is a monumental task as there are over hundreds of them to
research upon.
In this short article, we will summarize the key points and where
the emphasis should be, and on our future articles, a
comprehensive table with detailed analysis for each of the hundreds of
secondary emotions could be presented -a herculean task indeed. We will group them into as few
groups as possible based on similarity for practical
purpose so that it is simple to use.
There are only 9 Primary Emotions that could lead to wrong doings. Secondary Emotions cannot lead to wrong doings- but may lead to a Primary. There are hundreds of Secondary. A Secondary may hop from one Secondary to many other Secondaries before leading to a Primary. Thus, a Emotion Path Tree or Diagram or Table will help illustrate this better.
However, for Simplicity sake- or real life practical application wise- almost all Primary Emotions and Secondary Emotions (absent some Neutral ones) are offshoots from the 2 most BASIC emotions of Love and Fear. Thus, from our research, almost all Secondaries could lead to a Primary.
The Simple way to apply this fact is to ignore the Secondaries (understand it, but ignore it), so once a Primary emotion occurs, one just has to be Aware of its presence and risk, and remind oneself to take Precautions.
The other way is to be aware of the Secondaries and take pre-caution in advance.
Some practical ways are-
1. One can use the Secondaries to be self aware- adjust/correct course if deemed necessary,
or do nothing if confident in self control.
2. Set up some type of self warning system AFTER a secondary has
transited into a primary and warning us it is time to take precaution.
3. Self warning on the secondary BEFORE it starts transiting into a
primary- not everyone would like this as life becomes too strict, automated,
robotic or unnatural since there is no natural, emotional flow or
release. It is considered unhealthy for some, depending on one's
Personality Profile, age, tolerance and control level. We will
leave it to each user if this is useful or overkill on free will.
Users can rely on warning to balance out the secondary or prevent the transit
into primary.
An app can be set up for the above where the user can take a short
Reflection survey at the end of day so that the app can pre-warn the
user based on inputs.
This app, if successful, will definitely narrow the Volatility band of
doing evil or committing wrong.
