I think that unless you can take judgments of right and wrong like an automaton, you must have emotions because that is our only way of moral guidance.
The sign of an intelligent people is their ability to control their emotions by the application of reason.
Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.
Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.
We all have human emotions that rob our lives.
Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason.
The basic premise that children must learn about emotions is that all feelings are okay to have; however, only some reactions are okay.
We have emotions for a reason; for instance, imagine pain. You have pain so that if you touch something that's hot, or if you slam your hand with a hammer, you will pull your hand away and not do that again.
Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.
Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.
