Emotion is a creation of the mind, and the mind is not a reality; however:
Without the emotion of compassion
One can be compassionate.
Without the emotion of love
One can be loving.
Without the emotion of joy
One can be joyous.
Without the emotion of compassion
One can be compassionate.
Without the emotion of love
One can be loving.
Without the emotion of joy
One can be joyous.

An example occurred to me today and it is this:
A person sees a situation of dire need, gets very upset about it, sends some money to the cause and feels great as a result.
Another person sees the situation of dire need and ments (thinks) “There is grave need there. I will send some money.” and does. He or she is unaffected by the assessment or the donation.
[I can already sense the feeling of (some) readers that the second person is, somehow, lacking. If you do, I ask you to evaluate the two actions again.

there is nothing to say but yes.
I will create a link to this blog on my profile page.
It's excellent, thank you.
It is my priviledge, Sandra - simply that.
