I sometimes think about what’s actually valuable about existing, about being alive over not. It’s not bliss, satisfaction, winning, or validation, the first 4 levels here. It’s whatever the emotion paired with the level 5 verb is (cf prompt from 2 days ago).

Given this no-context 5-layer stack of verb-emotion pairs, what emotion-word immediately occurs you to complete level 5 (the highest)? Level 1: Produce : Bliss Level 2: Construct: Satisfaction Level 3: Transact: Winning Level 4: Exhibit: Validation Level 5: Trigger: ?
I forget where I read/watched the idea portrayed, but mortality is actually what allows us to appreciate the ideas of eternity and infinity. An actual eternal being would not appreciate it. Kinda like how you never go to the tourist spots in your own town unless you have visitors

This take for associating with trigger gives "throb" as in primordial throb, called spanda in Kashmiri Shaivism (from a random Wikipedia nugget that intrigued me long ago)
