Basic emotions and there opposites

Dear friends,

While going through Homoeopathic case taking we come across lot many emotions of patients. Few are understood but few are not easy to interpret in rubric language. Just to make it easy the basic emotions are the one which are at nearly in all expressions of the patient. Like anger, hate, fear, grief and so on. These we can call them as dispositions. As these are at the base of emotions there are few more emotions of which one has to take care of and those are opposite emotions. This has been seen a lot of time when patients are not attentive to themselves then they can mislead us by giving vague sets of emotions. Thus it becomes our far most priority to find out the base emotion. After getting this, we will be automatically directed to opposite emotion of the base. This will lead us to verify whether the data coming in the case is workable or not. Also we physicians can also keep our questionnaire accordingly. The following are the basic emotions and there opposite one to make you understand easily.
