Emotion
In psychology and common use, emotion is an aspect of a human being's mental state, normally based in or tied to the person's internal (physical) and external (social) sensory feeling. Love, hate, courage, fear, joy, sadness, pleasure and disgust can all be described in philosophical (encompassing theological and non-physiological psychological views) and physiological terms. It is unclear whether animals or all human beings experience emotion.
