Feelings?

Can feelings be classified into two groups - primarily physically-based feelings and primarily metaphysically-based ones?

Feelings such as hot, cold, hungry, love, hate, and anger seem to start from physiological processes (nerves, hormones), while feelings such as like or dislike of humor seem to be mainly based on metaphysical processes.

Hmm...

Diligent, hardworking and honest people need to beware. Others who aren't do not like such people.

Read somewhere that people resent those who are better. 

Example? Kids with bad grades dun like ones with good grades, sometimes. 

That kind of resentment could arise from survival instinct, so it might be due to physiological processes

On the surface, it seems only some resent others, but unconsciously, it could be another story...

Feelings could be due to chemicals and electric impulses around and in nerves. Why the chemicals and electric signals create thoughts and feelings is not known.

Okay, physiological process-based feelings and metaphysical feelings.

With metaphysical feelings, there is no foundation, so to speak. So, these feelings are based on nodes of knowledge? So, if cognitively dissonant, then no nodes, which is equal to feelings and thoughts not based on knowledge?

Knowledge is normally based on true facts or assumptions Common sense.

So, if one believes in untrue or false assumptions, further knowledge in that area is improbable? Gotcha!

Most people are somewhat cognitively dissonant, while some appear lost?

Plausible.

Feelings? Are feelings thoughts? Thinking that one feels something, or the external influence makes one think that way? For hot and cold... 

Hormone-based thoughts and metaphysically-based thoughts? Instinctive thoughts and higher dimensional/complex thoughts?

Some common nodes of knowledge exist in everyone's minds. Do these nodes exist in an unseen  dimension or are minds connected by some quantum entanglement-type phenomena? Maybe both?

Both. Could also be thought of as an unseen dimension of knowledge? Can easily get lost in here. 

No wonder most people avoid thinking, these thoughts.
