"What are the four emotions?"
"There are only four pure emotions; namely anger, fear, joy and melancholy.
All other emotions are mixtures of these primary emotions, and as such are not pure. The four pure emotions are expressions of desire, the physical manifestation of the one universal force, intent. Anger is the desire to fight, fear is the desire to retreat, joy is the desire to live and melancholy is the desire to change."
