What are emotions doing all over the place? Emotions are the result of cognition comparing the external environment with expectations. Just like feeling hot and cold when you go outside (when you step into the air, your skin adapts to your body temperature and then sends a signal to your brain that it says "hot" or "cool"). Complex psychological phenomena. So you go outside, your body sends a cold signal to your brain, and you go in and put on your coat. When you come home from work and watch your husband fly with the postman, your body sends an emotional signal to your brain that says, "What is the real devil?" And spread her ass and enjoy. Great deal. And there's a lot of ice on the couch. Emotions are meant to motivate us to act congand do something to resolve the conflict between our expectations and our environment by changing our environment or expectations.
