Emotions

Emotion is the complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences . In humans , emotion fundamentally involves with mood , temperament , personality and disposition , and motivation .

Based on what Wikipedia has said , emotions are our feelings that we feel in our bodies as tingles , hot spots and muscular tension . There are cognitive aspects , but the physical sensation is what makes them really different from others .
We must have heard of this , "Human that doesn't have emotions is the one who doesn't have a sense of humor ."

Emotions often lead to coping activities . When we feel something , we consequently respond to that feeling . This can be both in the immediate (and often subconscious) response to the feeling and also in the more thoughtful handling of the aftermath . Where this has been a negative feeling , the responses may range from vigorous justification of our actions to conciliatory apologies and other 'making up' . A common response to the repression of unwanted emotions is displacement , where we act out our frustration in other ways . Thus a reprimanded child , knowing they cannot answer back , may go and 'punish' their toys .
