The thoughts themselves are just nothing more than words going through our mind. If we had no positive emotions, then it would be like living without the inner light of god in our lives. It would be a completely empty standard of life. So, it doesn't matter what you think. Thoughts alone in of themselves cannot bring our lives the inner light or inner darkness. However, these thoughts put us into emotional states and it is these emotional states which are the objective good (positive emotions) or objective bad (negative emotions). So, our emotions are the inner light and darkness to our lives.

If emotions are still nothing more than brain chemistry, then they could still be objectively good and bad states of mind though.Ok, I think I understand your notion a bit now. I think you should change it slightly though. I think you should say the bad or good thoughts are of the ''connectivity'' but the feelings are a chemical imbalance created by the thoughts. This then would actually be along the lines of something I once discussed where I wondered if our own thoughts are even our own thoughts, or are they live remote thoughts? I am not sure we could ever know. User 1 and user 2 could be controlling this very conversation and the truth is would we ever know?

Our negative emotions and misery are also no way to live or be an artist either regardless of how much success and inspiration we have brought to others. I will tell you why. I have every reason to think that our emotions are like the forces of light and darkness to our inner selves. The positive emotions would be sheer objective goodness itself (the force of light) while our negative emotions would be sheer objective badness itself (the force of darkness). Without our inner light, then we truly have nothing. Sure, our inner darkness can certainly inspire us, but it is nothing but darkness and, thus, no way to live or be an artist. It is like being devoid of the light of god. Without his holy light of joy and goodness, then our lives and artistic endeavors could only amount to nothing to us.
The more of this inner light I have in my life, the more of a beautiful being of light I become and the greater the good value and beauty I perceive in my life. The less of this light I have, then the less my life and being is.
If you don't mind, I would actually like to present to you a logical argument. It has premises and a conclusion. Let me know when you are ready to read it. That way, you can fully read and fully address it.
1.) Having a genuine value judgment (emotional viewpoint) of things being good and worthwhile in our lives is a positive thought that makes us feel a positive emotion. It is, therefore, through our positive emotions that we experience the good values and good qualities of life such as love, joy, beauty, etc.2.) Having a genuine value judgment (emotional viewpoint) of things being bad in our lives is a negative thought that makes us feel a negative emotion. It is, therefore, through our negative emotions that we experience the bad values and bad qualities of life such as misery, despair, hate, etc.
What I mean here is that our value judgments of good and bad are subjective and that our wanting, liking, unwanting, and disliking that come about through our thoughts alone are the subjective wanting, liking, unwanting, and disliking. As for our emotions, according to that study which I am going by, they would be an objective good, bad, wanting, liking, unwanting, and disliking.
