I like the idea of making emotions continuous or a spectrum but I don’t think a single linear one will do.
for example, anger can feel good—if it works (I can’t say that from personal experience so much as from observation from kids).
To build off of your comment here, the idea that “anger can feel good” is a phrase where the meaning of individual words depends heavily on one’s direct experience, personal background and cultural context.
