Sartre pause that emotions are things we do

Sartre pause that emotions are things we do. They have a goal, and they are intentional, that is their actions we carry out deliberately. Because of this, we are responsible for our emotions. When the path before us become too difficult, or when we cannot see our way, we can no longer put up with such exacting in a difficult world. Always, and nevertheless, we must act. So then we try to change the world. Emotions help us transform. The world is a kin to magic, magical act alters the attitude of the practitioner in the world. We do not change the world, but we do change our world, I shifting our needs, fears, and hopes through emotions that help us to value or devalue Certain elements in it.
