Thinking takes time, feelings are instantaneous. If they aren't, then you haven't thought it through yet.

Thinking never ends, only starts. Emotions evolve with more conclusions and inferences.

Emotions are echos of thoughts. You cant feel about something you didnt comprehend, or something that's out of your mind for the moment

Thought: Deliberate mental or physical operations with meaning-objects (words, images, sounds, electronic components...)

Interesting. Which part is "comprehension" then? Sensory input->pattern matching->reactions/loops/processing/state change.

I don't think there is such a part. There's just parallel limbic and cortical distributed processes that are coupled

To map "sound" to "offensive statement" is an act of thinking, whether it happens at once, or after tossing some words in your head.

I think you're using a metaphor peculiar to the way you think. "Speaking in head=echo in thought" is not everybody's experience
