A humans emotions could influence their thoughts - and their physical feelings can also influence either their thoughts or their emotions (or both at the same time). Thoughts could be complicated - they are a mix of goals and motivations with the persons environment and experience. Furthermore, a motivation could have complicated emotions, and their present situation could be causing complicated emotions.

The difference between feelings and thoughts is simple and complex - a thought could be complex because it could involve the persons motivations mixed in with the objects in their environment and their experience. They could have a thought for each object or each objective reality in their situation.

The difference between their feelings and thoughts then is that their feelings cause feeling, or stimulation and could be complex and intellectual while their thoughts could be unconscious or complex.

What is an idea?

Humans have feelings. Humans can also think about their feelings. Other factors in reality help the thinking process - such as what is in the persons environment, and what they are paying attention to all assist the persons thinking process.

But what exactly is a thought process? Is it a sentence? Is it a single idea? Is it a few ideas that the person is trying to think about or understand?

The ideas someone is thinking about could be complicated and internal - or simple and related to their environment.

Humans have ideas - mulitple ideas can compose a thought process. The ideas can be about different things - stuff in the persons environement, other ideas or memories that they want to think about, and they can form thoughts or sentences about those ideas - they can also think about their feelings (with ideas or sentences).

For instance, a feeling could be an idea - or an idea could become a feeling.

What does that mean an idea is? An idea is something that occurs to someone - it is a concept or intention, or an understanding of some sort.

Ideas can relate to a persons feelings - and to the persons thought process. That is, ideas can complete a thought process.

Ideas in action]

Ideas are thoughts that occur to people. 'That is an excellent idea' would be the expression.

There are people that have emotions. There emotions are feelings that they feel. That means that they also like to think about stuff. I added that to this book as a final addition. You would think that that was written before I did the research for this book because it doesn't sound very sophisticated, however

I don't know what else to add to this book. I hope that the humans reading this go to my website, modifiedimage.com - to look at my artwork, however

I now realize that that sounds stupid, but I am going to publish it anyway.

Emotions and thoughts

People have feelings. Therefore they think about stuff.

Humans can also visualize objects internally or see real objects.

If something is visualized, then it could contain information that is the equivalent of the idea of thoughts or conscious or unconscious processing.
