If we just wanted positive emotions, our species would have died out a long time ago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Rather than being a luxury, emotions are a very intelligent way of driving an organism toward certain outcomes.
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.
We all have human emotions that rob our lives.
Humans have a sense of spontaneity and emotion. We have a dichotomy between grief and happiness.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.
Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth.
Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.
The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.
Emotions have taught mankind to reason.
