emotional states
	fear, satisfaction, negative type 1 emotion
(the last was taken by Adolfo Guzman from some psychology book.)

amusement
	amused ⊃ ¬angry
	amused at ?

	It seems we should try to cover as much as possible with slots and general
axioms relating emotions and axioms.
**
	fear y --> anticipate harm from y
but it isn't the same thing

dislike

x is an emotion instance
**
who(x)
time(x)
type(x)
target(x)
**
contempt
**
apathy
**
awe
**
affection

CYC form
(ForAll x (Person allInstances)
	(ForAll y (x feelsContemptFor
		(... ignores x y)))
**
If x ignores y, x doesn't try to know what y does.
**
Therefore, x probably won't know what  y  does.
**
If  y  is an enemy of  x,  y  may try to harm  x.
**
If  x  knows that  y  is doing  a,  then  x  may
be able to prevent  a  from harming  x.

	If  x  has contempt for  y,  then  x  is likely to ignore
what  y  does.  If  y  is an enemy of  x,  and the contempt is
unjustified, then  x  is likely to be unpleasantly surprised by a hostile
action of  y  that  x  might have prevented had  x  not ignored  y.
**
The question is how to represent such info.
**
An enemy of  x  is someone with a goal (or maybe just a wish) of harming
x.

	fear
**
x fears y
**
x is a person
**
y may be another person or it may be an event-type, e.g. fear of falling.
It may be something else.
**
We could differentiate the possible objects of fear and use separate fear
predicates.  However, we'll try to get by with one predicate adn give
axioms that are conditional where necessary on the type of an object.
**
x fears y ---→ x anticipates harm from  y.
**
However, fear has elements of a sensation whereas anticipation of harm
might be unemotional.
**
x fears y ---→ tendency(x  flees  y)
**
even though sometimes when  x  anticipates harm from  y,  x wouldn't have
a tendency to flee.
Fleeing might be a mistake.
**
I'm afraid of fire.
