Hello, everyone,
Typically, older people experience more positive emotions than negative ones in daily life. The experience isn’t purely “happy.” Rather, our emotions grow richer and more complex over time. We experience more co-occurrence of positive and negative emotions, such as those poignant occasions when you get a tear in the eye at the same time you feel joy, or feeling pride at the same time you feel anger — a capacity we call “emotional complexity.”

About the usage of ‘feeling’ in above sentence, I feel a little unusual, and analyzed it by myself in following two ways;
1. since ‘or’ leads to parallel structure, the full sentence may be, “such as <those poignant occasions> {when you get a tear in the eye at the same time you feel joy}, <or> {when you feel pride at the same time you feel anger}”. And then, the writer left out the repeated ‘when you’ and finally replaced it with adverbial clause by ‘feeling’.
2. the ‘feeling’ is matched to the ‘such as’ not to ‘those poignant occasions’. Thus, ‘those poignant occasions’ is being modified by only one ‘when’ clause.
Which analysis is better to your eye? And will appreciate if you advise with suitable answer, if none.
Thanks in advance & RGDS,
