Question: Would society be better off without emotions!? !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No way, without emotions our populous would die out!. no one would care enough to raise there children, or care to take them in!. without emotions we would be rolled by our instincts and would have never shrived for higher learning!. there would be no love, and no feelings to impress women!. And without the constant need to impress the opposite sex almost all of the greatest feats of our spices would have never happened!. We would have never found the need to climb out of the trees pretending to be brave for a little ancient monkey a**!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely not!. Sure there are ups and downs in life!. But we'd be losing the point of living!. I swear we would!.

Happiness can be felt through love, and joy!. Sadness can be felt through pain and grief!. If we stopped our emotions, then there'd be no point to do anything because we wouldn't be able to feel it!. We'd never know what we'd like cause we can't feel the happiness it provides!. And we'd never know what we hate because the disgust wouldn't be there!.

Coming from a person who rarely feels happiness, I'd say that your question is ridiculous!. Of course, feeling sad is surely not a good feeling but to cancel away all our emotions, we'd never feel the joy that usually follows after to relieve it!.

Hope I made sense!.

in a way yes because sometimes love or hatred leads to destruction and you wouldn't feel pain if they didn't love you back (but then again you wouldn't love them in the first place because you couldn't love)!.

but in a way no because then we as a human race wouldn't try to better ourselves because we wouldn't care!. the world WOULD fall apart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think that in theory it would be

but in reality it would be horrible probably, its hard to comprehend what life would be without emotions

i mean, i guess i couldnt classify it as "horrible" because horrible would not existWww@QuestionHome@Com

I admit, emotions can cause pain!.!.!.sometimes to ourselves and others!.!.!.but emotions also protect us!. For an example!.!.!.Compassion compels us to help one another!. Love compels us to protect each other!. Sympathy helps us heal and comfort each other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It would be a very different society, but!.!.!. we wouldn't care, would we!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
