I was listing my seven deadly sins. && I couldn't remember them all so I just started ranting. I'm not sure why the numbers are there though, that was a while ago.
"Evilness"? I don't know what it is, but it certainly sounds bad, doesn't it?
my guess was the 7 deadly sins also. the numbers, i assume, are to list in order the worst ones.
'Deppression' and 'Lonliness' + film school + LA = yep, another illiterate film director in the making. I can't wait to see the result at my local cinema.
The child is simply listing all the possible emotions he/she can conjure and rating how they feel on a scale of 1-5. The highest being "Confusion", which seems evident.
Seeing as it was found in a film school, I kind of think of like some sort of lesson, where students have to convey an emotion, and maybe those are the emotions people chose, the numbers indicating how many students chose them.
I don't know, that's what comes to mind for me.
Seems like a 1--10 scale to me ---DG
I don't think that humor is one of the seven deadlies. (greed envy gluttony lust wrath sloth pride) In fact, I'd list humor as one of the virtues. (which I don't have committed to memory like I do the deadlies. sorry.)
And they're not rating one to ten, because there are two for each number, one thru 5. But I can't figure out any sort of pattern that could have made the writer assign these words the numbers in this way.
What would have been the partner to distress? Rescue?
I think it is a one through ten rating system. Listing out the emotions you feel, then rating them. I have heard of many counselors asking their patients to do this, especially the younger ones. But, I could be wrong.
Well, I am wrong already. I meant to type "I think this is a one through five rating system" considering that the numbers stop at five. But my brain and my fingers did not agree.

I thought it was acting notes for the emotions someone was gonna move through in a scene. The numbers? I don't know.
i figured that they were just a list of match ups, depression and humour broth ranked 1 because they out do each other, joy and fear
and confusion and revealing at both at number 5
but loneliness and and evilness don't fit, notice how evilness is the only one in black?
seems to me like it's a set list for a shoot with each thing paired with its opposite and the order they'll be shot or shown. Seems like something I'd do for a photo shoot or book layout.
just a guess though.
What an unusual shopping list...
Those are stages of grief, spelled out.
I hope they got better.
