Affection and Emotion

Affection is usually identified with Emotion.

Actually these two sound different but closely related.

Affection is social interaction where as emotion is an internal individual response.

Affection is some thing that can be given to some one or receive from some one.

Emotions are neither given nor taken, they are only experienced by oneself with out the requirement of any other person.

We could use all the words of a dictionary to express different emotions. But due to the infinite extension of emotional feeling, it is impossible to make a full description of all the emotions that we can experience.

Fundamental difference between emotion and affection is that the emotion is something that takes place inside, while the affection is something that flows and moves from one person to another, producing some emotion.
