A feeling is similar to a thought but a feeling contains a certain load. A thought does not necessarily lead to behavior. The stronger the feeling the greater the chance one will react. Feelings are always either pleasant or unpleasant, attract or resist. Feelings give thoughts the energy to act by other preventing the feeling or creating more.
