Emotions are what motivate our lives. We organize our lives to maximize the experience of positive emotions and minimize the experience of negative emotions. We do not always succeed, but that is what we try to do. The emotion motivates all the important choices we make.
The basic emotions we experience:
* Anger
Anger is a feeling related to one's perception of having been offended/wronged and a tendency to undo that wrongdoing by retaliation.Anger may have physical correlates such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline.Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm.Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force.
* Disgust
* Fear
* Happiness
Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.
