nature of the word emotion

Energy divided by motion is emotion, by which the Spirit speaks. Or if you prefer, by which abstractions speak. However, an abstraction does not have much Spirit, or any emotion within itself, and so is likely to end up as ruminations. To actually accomplish anything one must think like the actor James Dean. Meeting Dean on the sidewalk, so this was told, his former acting roommate, who did not make it big time like Dean, told Dean in so many words you really wanted to be an actor, you were not just going through with it. And all this too is spirit.
