What causes emotions?

*Performances can sometimes cause feelings such as:
1) aprrehension- this can include terror, and the person feeling apprehension can feel like he might give way (faint), or feel like his chest is beating out of his chest; nausea can also be a common feeling
This is often call something called "stagefright" something that emotions affect

*Emotions such as stagefright:
1) 85% of American suffer the racing pulse, stomach butterflies, trembling hands, and a parched mouth before one appears before a group or in public

*Emotions are the feelings of the mind, the equivalent of what are predicted to be physical sensations in ones body

* Emotions are a flush of adolescent desire, throat constructing awe, a paingful longing for a loved one, and the empty ache of loss

*"Emotions are terrors and elations, griefs and rages, adorations and revulsions, the spasms of mental sensation that cause the heart to leap of wither, that balance and hope against despair, that illuminated or cloud the human countenance"

*If one did not have emotions they would simply be dead, they would not feel anything that they were living (Or they would live an extremely boring life and wouldn't be able to do or achieve anything)

*Scientists realized that each emotions was different- they all involved the life of the mind, and the lives of many species
