emotion, do you really need them all?

[madeupfacts]

are emotions something that cripples a person's ability to make correct decisions or is it something that somehow "enriches" their meaningless lives?

If not all emotions are useless, is there one you would discard?

 

[feralkid]

Is cannibalism an emotion?

I think with a little effort, I could go without it.

:clock: <--- I've never used the clock, before now, and I've never seen anyone else use it.

I would get rid of pity, self pity, and pity for others does nothing, and has an extremely detrimental effect.

 

[rocadelpunk]

I'd never want to give up any emotion...good or bad, I want the whole spectrum.


You my friend need to watch equilibrium, that scene where he tears away the window cover and sees the sky/rainbow.

yum.

 

[GeekDrew]

I wouldn't get rid of any emotions.

I would get rib of panic.

 

[ohtwell]

If I could get rid of one, it would be jealousy!

Watch Equilibrium. That might give you a better understanding of how important every emotion really is.

Great, great movie. I'm definitely watching it again tonight.

I'd agree, probably.

 

[tweakmm]

Emotions are what make life life.

 

[ultimatebob]

Nervousness would be a good one to get rid of.

I'll bet that most people wish that they had a "switch" for their sex drive, too.

 

[Blazin Trav]

jealously/envy for sure.

 

[CKent]

Is regret an emotion? If not, guilt.

 

[AmerDoux]

i'd get rid of despair

No way, man... Envy is what fuels the US economy. Hell, I bet that you wouldn't have bought that crazy system rig if you didn't want to "out do" someone else out there 🙂

 

[Bryophyte]

Dread/anxiety just kills me. I would happily give that up.

 

[thirtythree]

I think emotions are good. I could do without sadness probably. Well... I dunno. Maybe that's good in some ways. I could do without anxiety.

 

[EyeMWing]

I need all of them.

 

[spaceghost21]

You would have to lead a pretty sad life to want to get rid of any of them...

 

[randay]

love.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

jealousy, or anxiety (not fear)

What makes you say that? I've lead a fine life, but I can see where jealousy, which is the one I'd get rid of, has caused myself and the people around me problems. It just seems to lead to other negative emotions. They all have relevance in your life and I agree that you do need them, but I wouldn't mind seeing what life would be like to eliminate one negative emotion! 🙂

Hm, maybe I'd get rid of self-doubt. I really don't see any reason for it whatsoever.
