We have all felt fear at some time in our lives, and regardless of the catalyst for the fear, fear feels like fear to me the same it feels to you. It feels like Fear. How is it possible that all of us, each one of us, have this same emotion? Some emotions may be stronger in other people, but the essence of the emotion is unchanged.
Actually, I would disagree with this. Though it may seem obvious to most of us, emotions may be experienced differently by those of different polarities.
STO's generally agree that fear and pain aren't pleasant. But STS entities might find those emotions pleasant. The emotion or sensation itself might be the same, but the perception of it might be totally different.
I do agree with your larger point, however, in that the emotions are shared.
