What is the point of having so many emotions? Why do I have to feel them all?

To remember you are alive! Feelings and emotions -even if they're not happy feelings- are there to let us remember we're alive! Emotions are there for letting us know if everything's okay or if it's time for a change!

You have to feel emotions to know if you're living and not just existing. Emotions or feelings are needed in order to grow and learn more about yourself and your limitations and for you to achieve a harmonious life together with the people you love .

If you're always happy OR always sad, you will not feel the joy of life. An emotional roller coaster helps you to know the meaning of your life and makes you cherish your happiness and your blessings.

Emotions are like suggestions from our subconscious. They are there to guide us in directions we believe are important to us. They arise for all sorts of reasons. Selfish ones, selfless ones, protection, exploration, misunderstanding, realization, and many more. They are like a call to action, begging you toward a certain direction which somewhere inside you feel passionately about. We have so many because we, as people, are extremely complex. We have many different wants, needs, beliefs, thoughts, and goals which we develop over years of existing and exploring our lives. It's as if you're the main character in a story that has nearly infinite different paths and side stories to choose from at your finger tips. Your brain does the best it can to guide you down the ones you want the most and emotions are your rough guide. We at times feel them all at once because we are so multi-faceted. Many of us struggle to truly choose just one path and have conflicting interests with ourselves. It can feel overwhelming when bombarded with so much at once but we must not lose sight. Not many people are capable of looking at the mountain before them and making the climb with their eyes on the peak. We often find it more tangible to look at the first step before us and take it one at a time. I find it's best to take my jumbled ball of emotions and identify them one at a time. I try and determine where this emotion is coming from and why I'm feeling it. Once I've done that, I move to the next one. Sometimes there's no understandable reason which I can determine and that's ok. I allow it to exist. I see my emotions as children feeling certain ways and I try to treat them as such. If I'm feeling sad and confused, I'll embrace my sadness with love and compassion as one would a sad child. I try to explain to my confusion so we may reach an understanding. We, as people, are the adults. Our emotions are our children. Raise them as you think a child should be raised and they will grow along with you.

Emotions are energy in motion. If we don't have them- we are not living. Surpressing them is the trouble and the energy get's blocked and stuck...I learned that by accepting all of my emotion I am most alive- just like children- laughing, crying- like clouds in the sky -here one moment - gone the next!

To develop as a human and a person yourself. You are the sum of all of your prior emotions and feelings and you need them to understand others, to behave according to the norms of society, to feel in an appropriate way in a given situation. They are like your weapons for a war, you have them and have the power to use them as well because they are there to help you grow as a person.

It's a part of being human. Sadness for when we need to alert people around us that we're facing a hard moment in time, happiness to let others know it's a good day and to smile, anger to show we're not happy with something. All in all, it's a part of being us.

The point of having emotions is because if we didn't have emotions how could we feel anything. Emotions can be happy or sad. If we didn't have emotions we wouldn't feel love or excitement.

Since we are dealing with different circumstances, different people, so we need better adjustment, and one of them by having so many emotions to let us understand things better, so we can socialize carefully.

Emotions can be wonderful things! If you weren't sad sometimes, how would you realise how happy you are?
