Letter: Pretty happy with the emotions coverage (2)

Published 4 June 2025

From Lyn Williams, Neath, UK

Your look at emotions and their impact on us was excellent. However, it is worth raising the issue of where, in my view, they come from. I believe we inherit them from our parents, and they from their parents; no one sat us down to explain how we will feel about any situation we find ourselves in – the feeling of guilt or happiness, for example.
