Emotion is the one of the things that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. But emotion is such a broad subject. There is love and have and disgust and a whole plethora of different feelings.
"The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy." Proverbs 14:10, Amplified
Feelings are unique to an individual. No one can feel exactly the way that I feel. Sure, when a family member dies, the entire family mourns. But each family member's hearts grieves in its own fashion.
So when we are bitter, we are bitter for our own selves. Bitterness is like drinking a glass of poison and waiting for the other person to die. (Cindy Hagerman)
The same goes for any and all emotion. We can all feel bitterness and joy and disgust, but no one experiences it quite the same way. As we feel these emotions, we feel them for ourselves.
