Wired for Joy
We all have the ability to create any emotion we want to experience at the flick of a switch. Imagine someone brings you a big, juicy lime. That person cuts into it, and the lime juice squirts onto you. He gives you a piece, and as you bite into it your face puckers as you taste the sour juices. Now, notice that your tongue feels tingly or is salivating. Just thinking about limes triggers a wire in your brain that tells your tongue to prepare for the lime by producing the saliva that is needed to break down the powerful acids. Our emotional brain wiring works in the same way.
