In “The Resonance of Emotions”, each hand represents an emotion, just as how they are all connected. For example, when you’re frustrated, the feeling of anger and fear comes along, and as the emotions get stronger, it will lead to anxiety and depression. Often we feel anxious and frustrated over certain events because we are afraid that it will lead to the loss of something we care about.
This exemplifies a popular and common sense but increasingly untenable view that the direct causation of behaviour is the primary function of emotion. In other words, our reactions and behaviours are a reflection of our emotions.
