This is a topic that I have really started to look into. Let’s start with the definition.

Full Definition of emotion

1a: a conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the bodyb: a state of feelingc: the affective aspect of consciousness : FEELING
