I think what the original poster might be referring to is something that would be more appropriately called "homeostasis," but even if we do re-label this discussion, it would take an enormous leap to apply these principles to human beings and emotions.

as for re-labelling, this discourse might best be filed under "apoptosis," in the end :) ...yours, c
