Neuroscience has observed that brain activity begins in the limbic system, which is the emotional region of the brain. Others have said this in this discussion. You're the one ignoring neuroscience.

Pain is not an emotion and feeling pain doesn’t always result in anger. Instead, you might feel relief that you didn’t get killed. Also, beauty is not an emotion. Between seeing and feeling “your breath taken away” is a thought, however brief, interpreting what you’re seeing.
You believe there is always a thought in-between. I would really do some observation to see emotion in action. I agree beauty and pain are not emotions; if you feel relief at not being killed, that will also be faster than thought.

Before feeling relieved that you weren’t killed, you have to realize you could have been killed and weren’t. That realization is a thought.

That argument is logical, that every emotion is based on some mental inference - but they're not always, many emotions are not logical at all.
