Is it part of a dichotomy? (Good and evil)

[IronyOwl]

Is it a purely mental concept, like willpower or inner peace?

[Naturegirl1999]

Is it a specific type of thought?

...I've seen cases where it's expressed this way but I don't think it's common, no.

I think I'm going to need examples of things which aren't this and why to be sure what you mean. I'm leaning "no", but unsure if my reasons are in line with what you mean.

Is it a specific type of thought?

In a sense.

[Naturegirl1999]

Is the thought something like worry/concern/curiosity/boredom, not emotions per say but something felt?

It's something you can feel, if that's what you mean.

...is it hubris?

[Naturegirl1999]

Does the feeling pertain to a lack of something?

[Maximum Spin]

...is it hubris?

No.

Does the feeling pertain to a lack of something?

In a sense, but you probably wouldn't think of it that way ordinarily.

[Lenglon]

would it generally be considered positive?

would it generally be considered pleasant?

is it a relationship between individuals?

does it apply to unthinking things?

does it apply to nonsentient animals?

does it apply to sentient animals?

I feel like we should be sticking to one question at a time, honestly.
Yes, probably, no, probably not (does any thought?!), who knows, probably (but still who knows, we don't know what animals think).

Is it one of the seven virtues?

[Maximum Spin]

Is it one of the seven virtues?

Not in any formulation I've seen.
Actually, I take that back. It COULD be. It depends on what virtues you mean.

[Naturegirl1999]

Agreed, I’m thinking one question a time too

My thinking is if humans (an example of a sentient animal) can feel this, then yes it does apply to at least one instance of sentient animals, but likely others too

Anyway, now for the question

Do humans usually express this emotion/feeling by rearranging their face? (smiling, frowning, raising eyebrows...)

That's probably culturally dependent, but in my experience, not in ordinary daily life.
