Emotions are of varying types. Some are more transcendental and belong to the soul, i.e. love, altruism, etc., and others are merely the bodily condition based on the situation. Long-lasting ones tend toward the soul and the short-lived emotions are of the body. It's merely an observation, so don't put too much stock in it. A more important question is, why do we commit ourselves to emotions?
I am more at an agreement with this statement just said. I believe we commit ourselves to emotions because it makes us feel more "alive" in more ways than one.
