Let me lay down the foundation. How do I look at myself and emotions in general?
Think of a blank living puppet. The puppet can think, it can breathe and it's heart is beating.We want the puppet to survive and pass down it's DNA, what do we do to ensure that? Imagine if you take various chemicals and insert it in it's brain, lets call these chemicals: Boredom,Fear,Anger,Happiness etc
These chemicals as a whole will be called emotions and will serve a great purpose, just to give you an example:
Happiness: The experience of feeling good will motivate the puppet to seek a better life,better relationships and self improvement to experience this emotion again.As a result the puppet will be in a better condition to survive and pass down your DNA
Fear: This emotion will make the puppet want to put distance between itself and the thing it thinks is a threat, it will allow it to be more cautious and not to make stupid decisions like trying to fight a Gorrilla.
Boredom: This strongly motivates us to do something out of the norm, to make something, to be productive. This helps the whole human race advance with technologies and many other ways.
In conclusion: This is sad but I think that we will never find "happiness" as happiness is a chemical reaction in your brain, no matter how long you live for you will go through the negative emotions no matter how good your life is. There is no destination to reach, we can never be happy till the day we die.The emotions we feel like "Love" "Fear" are not really anything special but chemicals, even when you know this you can't fight the feelings.We are slaves to our emotions, our decisions are based on them, how can we say we have true free will when everything we do is because of emotions.
What are your opinions about humans and emotions in general?
