Vocabulary 32 - More Words that Express Feelings

If you were an Indian cricket player and were selected to play for India in the cricket series against Australia what would be your state of mind?

On the contrary, if you were a player who played for India in the previous series against Sri Lanka and found that you were dropped for the series against Australia what would be your state of mind?

In the first case you would be experiencing an emotion or feeling of elation and in the second case an emotion or feeling of disappointment. Emotions and feelings are a part of life and are reactions that are triggered either by some external stimuli or by our internal thoughts. Usually it is difficult to separate the two but it is generally understood that feelings are more physical sensations, triggered by external stimuli and sometimes by internal thoughts, while emotions are triggered by internal thoughts and depict the state of mind of a person.
