Fundamentally they all come from the same place that exists below and before words and categories of things.

I expect that would be true to some point but even a baby knows when to cry when something is uncomfortable, hurts, scares them. How do they know that? Puzzles me

But as we get older and do know what hurt, fear, pain feel like they are all separate though you could feel them at the same time. But we know what they are and where they came from. People do laugh so hard they cry, even though there's no sadness associated with it. So I guess each situation is independent but could be expressed at the same time. Just my opinion though. Interesting topic for sure.
