The six emotions shared by ALL people are joy,
fear, surprise, disgust, anger and sadness.
Worry, anticipation, frustration, cynicism and
optimism are all secondary emotions and learned
behaviors that develop as a result of cultural and
environmental circumstances.
Mrs. Hutsell is down the hall a bit from the main
