modes of pleasure and pain
we catagorize pleasure and pain by what we believe is good and evil. then we catagorize good and evil with a reference to pleasure and pain. pain and pleasure are said to only be a state of mind we put things in. he's saying that love changes just as abrubtly as is may of started, for the thought if love may be pleasurable something can alter for this delight to now cause pain. which changes the thought or state of mind about love. love and hatred only stem frome the pain or pleasure something gives us. like any other feeling, hatred is only a state of mind. it may be caused from a bad experience we have had. depending on what kind of effect something had on us, determins the way we classify it into love or hatred. I have to agree with this because as we are young little kids don't hate anything... thats because they haven't lived long enough for something to have a negative inpact on them. and when that does happen, it's going to turn into the state of mind as they hate it. this is all about experiences that the mind and body have in the course of a lifetime that begin the love hate beliefs.

This is very true. Everyone has different experiences and thus, one person's view of what is love or what is pain could drastically differ from another person's view. Based on your external environment and your experiences you react differently from everyone else. However, Locke believed it was only the external environment acting upon the organism. I believe that it is a combination of both your experiences and your internal make up that determines how you will react to situations. For instance, those who have hormonal imbalances are more likely to react more emotionally (with intense feelings) than those who do not.
