Emotions are physical and are axiomatic to experience. It's hard to reason with something that doesn't talk back, hence most emotional states are altered via new experience and not reason -- such as a hug or a cookie. Emotion is a constant stream of something real that emerges from within. We proceed to express them with thought, dance, music, etc. Without them we would have very little to express or digest. Most thought and contemplation can be traced to an emotion that we had or that isn't going away. eg. Hunger begs for the experience of ingestion and we naturally obsess about obtaining food while we are hungry. But reasoning with hunger doesn't work, etc etc. just some food for thought ;)
