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

Considering some more, this is actually a really bad metaphor. There is no 1:1 correspondence between thoughts and emotions.

that's like asking "point to part of canvas with no paint on it" Background emotional texture is continuous. Thought is discrete.

A simple example is a baby in pre-verbal state. Cries/smiles randomly in response to sensory and memory processes

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

Doesn't have to be offensive statement. Could be a way of tilting head while speaking that reminds you of bully from school years
Replying to
Well, replace sound with visual data. You won't get to feel if you weren't looking the right way or blinked when the tilt happened.

You need for the pattern matching hw or higher sw to recognize the trigger. Following by memory, followed by emotion/words/images/etc.
