Summary/Abstract: We show in this paper that emotions not only represent short-term and intense experiences that influence behavior. Emotions, in their simplicity, reverberate throughout our personality. The simplicity of emotions does not conflict with their subtlety. They tend to captivate our minds and we escape into their world, including here the will. Emotions commits and consequently, will inherit the errors and weaknesses of our thinking and desires. The culture and the social life, through its models, enable and shape certain types of emotions through its expectations, such as: love, honor, justice. The social and cultural forces will allow some emotions while others will be strangled and thus prefigure what people are able to make out of their emotional lives. Emotional traits are part of the overall of character traits and help define the personality as a whole. Among them we include: emotional depth, ambivalence and narcissism. Understanding the aspects of emotional integrity will help us better understand the human nature.
