This feeling has conditioned confusion, curiosity, fear, etc, to arise, which are forms of delusion or ignorance.

But has not the capability of such a feeling, when used rationally, led to all the discoveries man has made improve his life - i,e, there are benefits to such feelings as well? Isn't it only the last question from Element that relates to feelings? (Will it harm me?). I think the other questions lead to insight.
