Does that get us any closer to the position that we should assign value to other people's lives, value that is in addition to how those lives affect our feelings?
How do you cross the gap from "I feel bad (or good) about this" to "I should assign a value to this independent of my feelings" and not have that same argument apply to boredom?
When thinking more clearly about your feeling doesn't make it go away. Really, maybe boredom is a bad example. We definitely wouldn't want to potentially feel arbitrarily much boredom if we couldn't escape from it.
Michael, your first sentence seems completely ungrammatical. I can't parse it or guess its meaning.
