The idea of containing emotions is just another inadequacy of the English language. Emotions are "created" by the person and felt in the present, not contained. What gives us the feeling of them being contained is our self consciousness. Animals just feel their emotions without being conscious of them (maybe chimps and shit are, I dunno). It's that old song... "If you're happy and you know it etc." We're happy, and we are conscious of it. Imagine if you were happy and you didn't know it. lol
