Six months ago I discussed Love and Boredom on thread :

Here's another pair of spheres, distraction inside contentment. Contained inside and determining the size of the spheres are a tetrahedron with four points each of which has a nested sphere at the point. Label the four spheres as greed/fear, boredom/love, understanding/confusion, and alertness/obliviousness.
As distraction grows towards the size of the contentment sphere, the difference of the two known as satisfaction decreases.
The greed sphere growth is limited by the size of the fear sphere, with fears of losing what you possess overcoming the desire to possess more.
I already discussed boredom/love see the link.
Understanding grows with enlightenment until the sheer number of things known - complexity, causes confusion to be reached.
Alertness is limited by the size of the obliviousness sphere, with neglect being the difference between the two and irrelevance lying outside the nested spheres.
As distractions caused by the inner forces grow, particularly from the unfulfilled desires, complexities, lessened neglect, and increased hatred (boredom exceeding love) satisfaction with the situation may cause the contentment sphere to shrink until it is actually smaller than the distraction sphere. At this point a person becomes quite frustrated and may engaged in public diatribes. LOL

p.s. I have a toothache, which makes me grouchy.

Careful Lon - you'll end up as a sphere of influence! Some of these
weird bits of ancient geometry are found at molecular level. Good
luck with the toothache - I've just had four teeth (expensively
replaced after being knocked out in rugby days) taken out and my moods
are generally better. By the time I've lost them all I may lapse to
comedy!

Truly an example that 85% of communication is non-verbal Lon!

I'm into triangles and squares and circles.... (ethically)... and pyramids and cubes and spheres (ontologically)....I call it Nominal9 Thematic Dialectic Logic.....
It is more structured than what you're doing, there Lon... but still .... who's to say what's what.....or how.....
