Emotions with two Components

They have a basic existence that is conscious, which triggers a reaction (the second component) that makes the first unconscious.

The relationship between the two is complicated, and in fact: complex.

I will give an example. We are naturally curious creatures, always wanting to know more. But in many social situations, secrecy is required. And we are forbidden to know more.

Can you see the two components here? One is personal and the other is social. And their interaction is intense.

In fact, situations with many components are common. That is why we have big brains: to help us figure things out.

We discovered the Computer, to help us with this. Only to find that this only made things worse. People with computers were fighting other people with computers, and these computers are getting smarter all the time!
