Positive emotional states (pleasure and euphoria): reward and addiction. May be a positive thing into religion, war, etc. Others may experience with drugs etc. for that pleasure. Every time you experience pleasure you activate primitive circuit in brain. Psychomotor activation has a mental aspect to it. I just got rewarded and i am looking for more.
