What are emotions, if anything, but a passing thougt?

Answer 1

Emotions are not thoughts.

A thought is conscious. Emotions are responses to stimuli. Emotions are our personal reactions, our internal reactions.
Emotions are the flavor of life: love, hate, courage, fear, joy, sadness--these are not thoughts, but physical perceptions.
Physically, emotions arise autonomically in the nervous system
and even though there's a physical chemistry behind them,
that makes them tick, it's one of those complex issues that
cannot be defined by its own terms. It's one of those issues that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Answer 2

Emotions are a person’s feelings. They may be expressed in the form of ardor, excitement, warmth, anger or even passion. Researches even talk about the fact that emotions rather than IQ may be a truer indicator of human intelligence. EQ or Emotional Quotient, is a tricky business and can't be easily pinned down—because 90 percent of emotional communication is believed to be nonverbal!
