Emotions have a function of adapting our body to everything that surrounds us. Emotions, being affective states, indicate personal internal states, motivations, desires, needs and even goals. In any case, it is difficult to say how the emotion will affect the future behavior of the individual, although it may help adaptare, cogniție, us to know him intuitively.
