We have all experienced various emotions (anger, fear, joy, etc.) throughout our lives. What is new each time are the external circumstances and conditions. These trigger memories of previous physical experiences, and we respond emotionally. Emotions that have been held in for a long time can provoke a reaction that is disproportionate to the current situation. Once we calm down, we may wonder where such a strong emotional reaction came from.
