Now genetic code- that is so fascinating to me...

I may be missing the point, but I think you'll agree that a person is not a slave to his/her genetic code. For instance, identical twins separated at birth and raised by different families will have different experiences (different data to analyze for patterns) and therefore different associations between emotions and thoughts. [However, twins separated at birth sometimes DO have uncanny similarities in their preferences, talents, etc. I think I have seen a show about it on Discovery Health.]

I think your idea that emotions are the ultimate reward/punishment/motivation is very interesting. And as parents, we try to associate good emotions with safe, productive behavior, and bad emotions (or a little physical discomfort for the proponents of corporal punishment) with dangerous or destructive behavior.

Gosh the people who post here are really brilliant.
