Question: Where do emotions come from!?
I heard it is a section in the brain, but what would happen if that section were to be taken out!?
And, if it's in the brain, why do we feel it in our hearts!? Thanks in advance for answering!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Emotions are more subtle than instincts, in part they are ideas!. They change with time, and can shape the destiny of entire nations!. If a wise man did a "History of Emotions" book, it would make for a a very interesting reading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

From my perspective, emotions are not felt in the mind or the heart!. They are physiological responses!.!.!.

When Im scared, my heart races, pounds in my chest!. It "feels" pretty much the same as if Im on a treadmill for an hour!.

When Im in love, my stomach feels queezy!. I feel empty, and sick!. Some call it love, missing your love, in need of your love!. So when I want to tell a girl that I love her, I tell her that she makes me feel queezy!.

I feel emotional pain in my heart!. I know its not caused by physical damage, it feels different!. But it is felt in the heart nonetheless!. Its a heartache, that feels little different than what you would take an alkaseltzer for!. Who is to say that the pain isnt actually there!?

There is more than one physiological response in combination!.!.!. which form an emotion!. But all emotion can be described with physical parameters!.!.!. I think!.

Without the body to manifest these responses, I dont think the human mind could perceive them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, if it was taken out I think that the person will kill themselves, what's worse than feeling sad, feeling nothing!. Well, I guess our brain makes us think that our hearts speak to us, but that's the voice in your head!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
