Do you wish we didn't have emotions?

[Meatunnel69]

Admit it most of our emotions are a complete waste and in fact a detriment to society think of people having a murderous rampage or simply cutting someone off in traffic because you are an emotional butt hurt warm blooded bipedal rat.

I could go on and on about jealousy, envy, insecurity depression being a huge handicap to our well being. To our credit just about every organism expresses emotion: corner an animal it will fight you all the way down the food chain to the lowly spider. Heck even microscopic organisms express the “emotion” of greed as the devour each other and compete for resources. Watching two plants fight over light in time lapse videos lets you see the drama these green creatures inflict on each other. Should we just limit our emotions to just those necessary for self preservation or do away with them all together and become logical robots.

When I feel frustrated, I thought about how to remove my emotions so I don't feel frustrated anymore.

But without emotions, we can't empathise with others, laugh with them, cry with them.

Emotions are what connects us to each other and if people didn't have emotions, we wouldn't understand each other. We'd be alone until it drives us crazy.

Yeah, but only the negative emotions. I'm with you on them being completely useless in this society.
