If you could erase one emotion from human experience forever, what would it be and why?

Question

I would have to keep all of mine. Because with out all of them i might not ever learn how to over come it. It's all of our goals. To over come it all.

I was talking with a friend the other day we are car guys and sure we love certain types of cars but a real car guy loves all cars

He says that that like saying I only like that person or that person nope not that person

I said nothing to do with like it's love a true car guy loves all cars.

And I said it's the same with people once you love yourself you love everyone.

In order to do this you need to understand the opposite of love we live in a Duel purpose world. Love hate right wrong yes no god Devil. Positive negative failure success. You cannot sexy without failure You cannot understand one of them without understanding the other one
No matter what it is that we go through we have to understand the other side

I answered another one of your questions.
And I put a pretend scenario into it.

Maybe it wasn't Pretend

Because I know once you go through what you are going through And you understand both sides of it. You are going to be at you best with everything you do

And I guarantee you're just gonna be no stopping you the guy that walked away is going to be so sad Because you're going to have it all you already. Do you just don't know it Because you're still trying to figure it out but I guarantee it. Oh my god someone is going to be one happy lucky person like you said Is an experience that's all it is. You have to experience it to understand it to become greater than it. And you're getting closer and closer
The pain that you feel today will be nothing but love on the other side of today

Wow. This might be genuinely the best question I've seen all year in general across all platforms. It's so simple and yet really gets you thinking.

But for me personally, since I have severe anger problems that can literally turn dangerous, violent, and life threatening when during one of my severe delusional schizoaffective manic episodes, easily anger. Anger during those episodes almost ruined my life. It for sure pushed literally everyone I used to know away, even acquaintances/friends I had known since like kindergarten.

Now they not only want nothing to do with me, but also actively hate me, never wanna see me again, and wish I would be dead. Their own words, not mine. And I also caused thousands of dollars in property damage.

Besides anger, these next ones are not necessarily traditional emotions but depression and anxiety. Depression literally almost led me to suicide. And anxiety has given me several severe panic attacks, including in public.

But I'd say the anger is much worse overall because with depression and anxiety at least it was mainly just a me problem. But the anger was a problem for everyone around me as well. So depression and anxiety was my own personal hell. But with the anger I began to drag everyone else into my personal hell as well.

I like to think that these days I've gotten better in comparison at least. But yeah.

Hmm. They're all there for a reason. Perhaps panic, though. Fear is ok to have, but panic causes a person to freeze, make snap judgements, etc.

Sadness. I went through months of it and was almost to the point I wanted to unalive myself. It's the worst emotion in my opinion.

Aiming to keep love and connections smooth and groovy! 😎 If I could hit delete on one emotion, it’d be jealousy. That green-eyed monster can turn the sweetest loveboat into a Titanic disaster, don’t you think? We’re all about trust and open hearts here, not those shady vibes. So, let’s boot jealousy to the curb and make room for healthier, happier connections! 💌

Greed. There is enough for, water and medicine to help every single person in dyer need. The only reason anybody is poor, is greed. Nobody steals, nobody kills for gain.

Nobody steps on somebody else's back to gain an advantageous position. If we eliminated greed, we can redistribute wealth. Much of the injustice and pain in the world is because of human greed.

It's what keeps people from being able to work together to actually solve humanities bigger problems.

TrueConfection · Answer

Anger because it could lead to resentment by either person.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

None, each emotion plays an essential role in both our biological evolution but in how we perceive the world. Everyone is so quick to talk about the negatives of anger, sadness, and fear that a lot of people don’t learn the positive sides to them. The purpose of fear isn’t just to make challenges difficult, it’s to let you know that what you’re doing carries consequences and it can hurt you if things go wrong, fear is there to protect you. Anger happens when you’ve already been hurt, anger fuels our sense of justice and being able to stand up for ourselves. Sadness also happens when you’ve already been hurt, it’s a necessary release of that pain that’s been sitting inside you for so long, it’s also the link to our capability to show compassion and empathy for our fellow human beings. All emotions, despite how awful they might feel in the moment, are good for you.

strateguy632 · Answer

Jesus taught not to get angry but atheists, " play games with definition" as if injustices justify anger... see how they cause anger. You can't be a good person without the new testament.

Jesus said, "I tell you that ANYONE who is angry will be subject to judgment. [and] will be in danger of the fire of hell." ANYONE.

NathanDavis · Answer

I was going to with greed... but that might not be a feeling per se, so... I am going to go with Envy, we don't need none of that... lol and we would all be definitely better without it too

Assassinn · Answer

If I had the chance to completely erase an emotion, it would probably be "fear". Because although fear generally provides us with a protective function, it often unnecessarily limits our lives and prevents us from taking advantage of good opportunities. But we should not forget that without fear, courage can lose its meaning. In other words, it might be more logical to think about grinding it down a bit before erasing it.

rybukakes · Answer

Anger, there is definitely too much of it right now. Although like others pointed out, no anger could be problematic too, because you need it as a tool to tell you that something is wrong. But then again, I feel like most problems in the world are caused by it, so if you remove it then there wouldn't be as much stuff to be angry about.

fish5505_87 · Answer

Shame! most of it, is cultivated by fear. Most of the time it is not warranted, and it has been used by societies to control people. Shame is a real emotion and has its place, but many times it's percetpion caused deep emotional trauma for people.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

I think all emotions are valid. Removing hate and anger will just make us careless. Removing envy will lose our motivation. Removing fear will make us reckless. Removing sadness will just make us unsympathetic. Those negative emotions are like the painful truth nobody likes to hear.

I'd go with envy, if people spent more time trying to obtain what other people have instead of bieng pissed off they don't have it the world would be a better place.

Evil, or whatever would you call that toxic kind of emotion, some people just like doing evil to other people, I would like to erase it.

Makeushiver · Answer

I think that jealousy is the emotion that causes the most pain and is not anything that has any upside

Panthero · Answer

I would be tempted to say anger, but I think there would be unforeseen consequences. For instance, controlled anger can motivate social change.
