Feeling
Feelings are subjective emotional states that can manifest as happiness, sadness, or anger, and are fundamentally tied to the principle of Rhythm. These emotions are generated by the responsiveness of "desire-stuff" to the desires and actions of beings, driving the motion and interaction within the Desire World. In essence, feelings represent mental states characterized by pleasure, pain, sorrow, or joy, which are unique experiences accessible only to sentient beings. These states not only reflect the internal emotional state of an individual but also influence their interactions and behavior in their surroundings.
