Today I started to think about emotions. These feelings that drive us daily. The hurt that they cause us. The dmage that they make. That beast that makes men and women alike to (re)act, despite better judgemt. We are slaves to this beast. We cannot live without it. Love. Hate. Rage.Calm. What would we be without these?And most importantly, why do we act upon these?
What kind of world would this be, if there was no emotions? A cinnical one , that's for sure. A logical one? A reasonable one? A peacefull one perhaps? Because greed is also an emotion, and greed creates war (or enhances them).So I think its fair to assume that without emotions there would be no war. Perhaps not even crime. Perhaps not even happiness. Joy.
So, it would not be perfect, and I came to this conclusion.
I think that, in the end, it all comes down to one big reason. We only live once (I may debate this further on, but for today, let's us assume this is correct). And we NEED to feel alive. Emotions makes us fell alive. Its flesh versus spirit, and I'm afraid to say, flesh wins. It's this simple. I said above that this world would be a peacefull place if we were emotionless. And I stand by that. But, a peacefull world, whee noone enjoys that peace, is not a world I desire. We need emotions to enjoy all that's around us. We feel alive when we are happy. We feel alive when we are in love. When we rage, and we do this alot, the heat of a moment makes us feel alive.
And so I came to the conclusion that emotions are what defines our lifes. We could not be trully alive, if we never felt alive. And as to emotions hurting people. Well, we do act upon emotions to feel alive, and as someone once said, the next man's pain is another man's pleasure. It's all a big game , where each and everyone of us try to live by, where noone wins or loses, we just play the game. And someone just lost it.
Well cya later.

I believe no one with a reasonable mind would want a world completely free of emotions. but I have to disagree with you. u said that we need to feel alive. yes, that is true, but there are also some emotions that make u feel worse than dead. and u can't say that the next man's pain is another man's pleasure while stating at the same time that no one wins or loses.
ResponderEliminaru can't be reckless to just ignore other people's emotions, simply put, it would be cruel.
this "game" u mentioned, can't be taken this lightly. it's evaluating if what you can win is better than what u can lose, and many times it isn't.
it is also true that if u think this way, u will win much less times, but u will also lose much less.
then it's a matter of perspective and personality: in the same matter, one might see a lot of profit, while another person might see no profit at all, and what u lose might be irrevelant for some, and of extreme importance to others
but that u can't control
