feelings, emotion, passion, sympathy, circumstances, facts
情 centers on the inner state of a person: feelings, emotions, and passion. It also extends to the external circumstances or facts that affect those feelings, as in the situation one is in.
情 combines 忄 (heart/mind) with 青, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of pure or clear essence, together suggesting the pure feelings of the heart.
The heart radical 忄 beside 青 (blue/pure) suggests pure, unclouded feelings. Imagine a clear blue sky reflecting your true emotions.
For ジョウ, picture a person named Joe who wears his heart on his sleeve: Joe -> ジョウ, and his feelings are always clear to see.
