About this ebook

This dictionary is a playful guide to the other side of misery resulting from not feeling. It is a dare to experience emotions again, in all their depth and glory. It is also an invaluable reference tool.
Common and not-so common emotions are described with new enlightening definitions, with the aim of giving the reader the chance to re-evaluate an emotion, or their entire perspective on life.
If you're feeling like you're not feeling, or you just need to check that what you are feeling can be related to what other people are feeling, then the Emotional Dictionary is what you need. A happy (see Happy) future is in your hands (as well as world peace).

John Bauer

John Bauer read, lived, worked, loved, won, and lost, well before he ever wrestled with words.In 2007, fired as county manager for no good reason from a place he’d previously managed for six productive years, he mistitled, and under-achieved with a textbook/cathartic memoir—boats, knots, other things.Undaunted, John sold health insurance and stocks and bonds, and then served five (5) twelve (12)-month tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Senior Governance Advisor for the US Department of State.Since 2013, Scribes Valley, Stone Canoe Literary Journal, AnotheRealm, the Magazine of Speculative Fiction, Andrews UK Limited (House of Erotica), WildSound Novel Writing Festival, and Stringybark Stories have published his scribblings. Thrice, he’s successfully participated in Nanowrimo. In November 2013, he drafted All the Bay’s Clams and All the Bay’s Men. Seven years and multiple re-writes later, this novel is soon-to-be published.His genres are adult contemporary, dark comedy, farcical, horror, erotic, and non-fiction. A believer in pre-destination and Divine Providence, John opines the endings to each of his manuscripts are not entirely his own.Born in Brooklyn, and raised on Long Island, New York, where he dug clams for eight summer seasons, John was schooled at Notre Dame and Syracuse, with detours to Mexico City, Mexico, Raleigh, NC, and Little Rock, Arkansas. Since 1979, he has worked as a public servant in southeastern North Carolina. There, he and his wife raised three children and currently have five grandchildren.Oldmanwrite—website and brand—reflects by any quantitative measure, John is old.Qualitatively? That part of his BIO has yet to be written.

    About John Bauer

    A

    Admiration

    So seldom found in conversation. We live in a world where everyone sees themselves as kings, and if not that they see the benefit in pretending so. But life is far richer if you are able to admire the people and things around you. If you do not you should embark on a voyage of discovery. Firstly to understand the people and things around you better, and failing finding anything admirable there, possibly a voyage of discovery to another planet.

    Adoration

    Adoration is the mystery that veils between our eyes and mind and makes us see more clearly what one cannot and less clearly what one can.

    Alarm

    Alarm is too often experienced in this world, with all of our intelligence one would have thought that we would have solved a great deal of this nonsense, and yet we have ever increasing alarm. We have found cleverer ways to alarm ourselves by having electronic alarm systems alarming us at frequent intervals. Some we become immune to, like sleeping through our alarm clock in the mornings, others fill us with fear, like our burglar alarm.

    Alienation
