^"--The difference between an observation, viewpoint, belief, &
opinion
observation - is the facts that you observe
viewpoint - is when you attach meaning to those ideas/facts
belief - is when you "implement" a viewpoint and you are
"convinced"
opinion - is a bunch of viewpoints along with beliefs,
connections, & speculation
Change the meaning by changing the viewpoint.
You can test this out by attaching different meaning to ideas,
then you will eventually get better at attaching the meaning
that you want to attach."

http://www.mind-programming.com/ - a great website that I
had forgotten about. Its Giant List of Emotions is especially
worth looking at - there are things that you never thought of as
emotions that are, in fact emotions)^
