	'''Emotions''' are a response to your [[value]]-~~judgements~~ of a particular object, person, event, etc.; and in order for [[man]] to have a legitimate value-~~judgement~~ of something he must first ''know'' something about it.

Thus, man cannot have emotions without first possessing knowledge; in addition, the extent of his knowledge of something will determine his emotional involvement in it.

	For example: A man sitting in a room is being witnessed by three other men, each with their own knowledge of him. The first witness knows the man as his brother, and feels ashamed; the second witness does not know the man at all, and therefore feels nothing for him, good or bad; the third witness knows this man as his wife's murderer, and feels rage against him. They all three have different feelings (based on their individual value-~~judgements~~), yet they are judging the same man.
