Man M: DRFseven, I asked why we feel something is wrong, not how we feel something is wrong.

What's the difference? If I see a painting hanging crooked on the wall, I become aware of a desire to straighten it. Why? Because, in the past, when I have straighened crooked paintings, I have felt rewarded. Why? Because, in the past, I learned through my socialization that a certain degree of orderliness was "good" (and I don't mean that I was simply told it; I was conditioned, over time, to think it, as are most people). Why did this learning occur? My biology made it inevitable.
