Doesn’t really say it for me.
We first encounter emotion as a baby, a toddler, a child.
No-one really taught me anything about emotion, all I can remember is being told, I was a cry-baby and boys should not cry.

My definition:-
Emotion – E_Motion (Energy in Motion – Energy being transformed)
Where is it in Motion? Being transformed?
In our bodies.
It is triggered by Sensing.
