-
Desires, at the very least, seem to be,
-
at least in typical cases,
-
very closely tied to a series of emotions.
-
You get excited when you're playing chess
-
at the prospect of capturing my queen and crushing me.
-
You get worried when your pieces are threatened.
-
Of course, more generally,
-
you get excited, your heart goes pitter-pat,
-
when your girlfriend or boyfriend says they love you.
-
Your stomach sinks,
-
you have that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach,
-
when you get a bad grade on a test.
