Emote, the act of expressing emotions. Through verbal expressions and cues, body language, or through the spiritual connections that is felt by humans, but often hard to explain we all express our emotions.
There is a human responsibility in emoting that is not addressed directly enough. Through the past couple decades emoting is an act of personal expression that people take pride in. There is a “diva” aspect which is almost unchecked emotions.
Women have been exploited through this process. The phrase “if momma isn't’ happy, then ain’t nobody happy” is humorous because it true, and not because it is right. With influences comes responsibility. This responsibility is something that we should take more seriously.
Ask your self these inventory questions
What emotions am I expressing in my different roles and environments?
Do my emotions life others or cause increased emotional strain?
Do I expect others to take my emotions as a responsibility of our relationships?
If so is that expectation verbalized and has they expectation be verbalized to all parties involved?
How am I emoting?
How do others emotions affect mine?
Am I ready to take responsibility for emoting
How do I act more consciously in my expression of emotions?

I completely agree that we all need to take responsibility for our emotions and ask ourselves how they affect others who come into contact with us. Our life touches or influences others for the worst depending on how we use our agency. It is never too late to go back and apologize!
this is a beautiful topic to be pondering. When my daughter was just a year or 2 old I remember noticing that if I was in a bad mood the whole house was affected, then I heard the above quote and was shocked and humbled by the responsibility it put on me.
On days that I can't seem to control the emotions I'm emiting I try to let my kids know - VOCALLY - that I am sorry, but I can't handle ____ today. Then withdraw to my room, the backyard, somewhere to figure out what is wrong. My kids and husband seem to be able to have a better evening when I vocalize that something is wrong. They are not depending on me then.
I think I answered all the questions.... again - beautiful topic!
