Emotions

I think that emotions are chemically created. By our brains, hormones, etc.

Each separate emotion is in a way too limiting. By this I mean to say that when I say "I feel happy," there are a range of emotions in me, with "happy" standing out above the rest. But I may also feel a degree of contentment, a degree of triumph, and, hidden away, possibly even a degree of sadness.

So to some extent, labeling the way I feel with a single emotion is a generalization.
