Color Wheel of Experience

It's hard to believe but the range of emotions that one is able to experience and express are limited in their capacity. Just like the length of our arms are limited to their reach, so are our ability to feel and convey emotions.

Every feeling of happiness, sadness, fear, despair, laughter and love is one that has already been experienced at some point with some slight twists and a different stimuli to induce it.

One can even say that the responses coming from and guided towards variables in the environment have been selected over the course of evolution and have been designed to be reliable, predictable and therefore limited.

That means every possible experience is not unknown of. It has been explored. It has been lived through. It is commonplace. Therefore mastery of these elements is possible.
