The human body is a beautiful thing. If you had no emotions you could possibly commit the worst crimes and not care. Someone would die and you wouldn't care. That doesn't sound nice, does it?

Emotions provide valuable information that you can use to make choices about your need and desires. Of course the trick it to feel them with out becoming them. To respond rather than react to them. Emotions are not an emergency. Emergency is what happens when you repress of ignore your emotions.

We are humans. We have many relations in life.. so do we have many emotions.. in order to grow in life, we need to experience all such emotions..

Would you like Black and white life or colorful life.... What's the point of having a colorful life if you can live with b/w as well... Why do we like to see colored movies even though we can see them in B/W as well.. The point of having so many emotions is just so that we may distinguish clearly between all the situations that we face and act differently.... Or else everyone would behave like a robot....either yes or no...that's it... There won't be any difference left between us and robots then.... Emotions are what make us human and keep us alive... :)

Emotions are a necessary part of life. We may not enjoy feeling depressed, anxious, scared, upset, embarrassed, but they are a part of our emotional spectrum just as love, happiness, excitement, pride, joy, contentment are. We need the negative emotions to appreciate the positive ones. Sometimes you may feel you're experiencing too many emotions at once and cannot even tell which you are feeling. Sometimes this can be due to mental illness so if you are having concerns, see your gp.

You have to have emotions because that makes you human, else your just a tree or a rock etc. What differs us from things and animals are our feelings and emotions.

Without all the emotions we have we wouldn't have any others because there is nothing to compare the emotions to. Without sad there wouldn't be any happy.

Emotions and feelings are simply what make us human, what make us alive. Unfortunately, negative emotions are also part of that. It can sometimes get overwhelming, everything may seem like a big mess of conflicting feelings and complicated emotions, but that's just life. We have to live with them, take a deep breath and sort through everything. There won't always be negative emotions; there are plenty of positive, wonderful ones too. We just have to calmly peel away the negativity and find all the good things in life underneath.

The emotions you feel are what builds you to become who you are. Without emotions we would be nothing but mindless slaves, without emotions we could never imagine what someone else have lived through and therefore we could never forgive people who harmed us either. Basicly, without emotions we would be nothing but ruthless monsters combating for survival. I personally believe that the more emotions you feel the better person you are.

Emotions help show us what we need to pay attention to, and also allows us to understand and appreciate the full human experience. Anywhere you look there will be a good to counteract the bad, and vice versa. The same applies for emotions. We cannot experience good things unless we have something bad to compare them to. Emotions inspire us and motivate us.
