We have so many different types of emotion, But why, we know that they cloud our judgement. And makes us do some stupid things, Are they there to confuse us and test our faith in god. Think of what the world would be like without emotion, You can not just take the emotions that you want. It is a package deal. Who can really control their emotions. I don’t think anyone can, but what we do have is people to help us to deal with these emotion. We must help one another, I have not master my emotion. I face one emotion that I can not deal with and that is death.This is one emotion I can not control. Us men are not supposed to cry. but we do. We just don’t let anyone see us and even denies that we do. It show weakness. I have not and never attend a funeral. Every body says you must pay your last respects. I like to remember thoughts of when they were alive. I do not have to say my good-byes, Because I know I will see them in the heaven in the after life. Now one of the hardest emotion is , believe or not “Love”. We all have done some stupid things because of love. The problem is that we keep doing them over and over and do not learn.This is because emotions are not logical. They are there for a reason. Is it testing us for a reason? Is it possible to love to much? Why does love hurt sometimes? Why do people commit crimes and even take their live for this emotion, It is a great feeling to be in love, but there are some down side to it. We can not think logically when we deal with this emotion. Hear is something to think about. We know that woman alway tempt us men, Now the real question is what was Adam feeling when he ate the forbidding fruit. He knew it was wrong but he still did it, Is it because he was clouded with the emotion toward eve of love. Woman has been man down fall for the longest time. Look at the history and you will see that man biggest mistake has always had a woman behind them. All through history you hear of people taking their life for love. Look at the story of Romeo and Juliet. They both took their lives because they could not be together and share their love. So we know that we will die for Love and even suffer for it. But why out of all the emotions, this one the hardest. It is a great feeling and why will we suffer for it. It’s not logical. Is love the father of all emotion and has all the emotions wrap up into one, think, We have jealousy, hatred, anger, despair, sadness, and the list goes on, It is all emotions wrap up into one and we will live for it or die for it. How strange is the emotion of love so powerful. We have people every day who fight off love with anger, The majority part of the homeless people do just that, It not that society did not take care of them, It because they refuse to love, Most of all themselves. We all been hurt but why do we keep seeking it, It ironic because Love and heartbreak share the same physical feelings, They are the same emotion, the cause racing of the heart, shortness of breath, change in appetite, Despair. They are in both of these emotions , is that why we keep dong the same mistake over and over again, Are we addicted to the feeling of love and heartbreak, Does it give us a sense of purpose. Is it that we need this emotion to feel alive. We know it’s a chemical reaction that our brain create, some say you can recreate it by eating large portion of chocolate. Why do we need it. to stay close to god, I guess there are some questions in life we will never understand…See if you can answer this , leave a comment. ohh by the way, We do need emotions in able to survive, The emotion of fear, hate, Love, They are nessesory for our survival. With out them, we would be just like robot and not care about anything, The question is why can we not control them?
Emotions are tools to survive. Controlling your emotion is not healthy. These feelings of LIFE are personal and I feel they should be expressed in private. The emotion I fear the most is fear and I will overcome this one even if it kills me.

Fear is a very important emotion that keep you alive. Fear is a an emotional reaction from past experience. Out of all the emotion this is the most important one. With out fear you would surely die. If a hungry tiger where to come at you and you did not have fear. You would be dead. So this emotion is a valueable emotion to our existance. I am talking about the lesser of the emotions that makes us jump with out us thinking. Why can we not control them. Even from past experiance, we do not learn and keep making the same mistakes. These are the emotions that I say that they are not logical. Most of all. the love we have for one another in a passionate way.
You appear to be making some very broad generalizations which could come back to haunt you one day!
1. Death is not an emotion. It's a fact of life. Grief is one of the emotions which arise following the death of a loved one. We all handle grief in our own way and in our own time.
2. Who says men aren't "supposed" to cry?
3. Man's biggest mistakes have always had a woman behind them? (Do you honestly believe that?) Men make those big mistakes because men are human and humans have a tendency to make mistakes. Humans are complex creatures with little true ability to understand themselves or others.
BTW, if you honestly believe that women are the true cause of the mistakes which men have made which contributed greatly to the world's problems, why are you on CS? From what I gleaned in trying to decipher your wall of text, you should possibly consider staying away from women entirely in order to avoid making any more stupid mistakes in your life.
And now we've stooped so low as to blame Eve because Adam was an idiot who did something he knew he wasn't supposed to do? What's next!!!

You are very smart, but I think you miss understood what I mean. To start, yes death is not an emotion. Grief is which is useally follow by death. Among men. We were alway brought up and told that men are not suppose to cry. Of course we would not be human if we didn't. But it is not in our masculine discription. And as far as woman being the case in men downfall is more to say that they are our weakness. not there fault. but our eternal weakness. My question to you remain the same. We all been hurt by love and yet we continue to seek it. We come across simular situation and still we make the same mistake. I am sure it happens to woman just like it does men. My question is why do we need it so bad no matter what the cost or outcome. You seem to be very bright. Can you explain this/

Fear is what causes most emotions. Knowing and understanding yourself will control the unwanted emotions. Using your emotions to get a point across is not a tool but a crutch. JMHO

] Yes, but haven't you ever wonder why you keep getting attracted to the same type of guys . as far at the ones who play with your feelings. I think everybody has ask themselve that question atleast once. Like "why am I aways attracted to the wrong person everytime"?

Over the years I never knew why but I know now. When you are ready to know the answers to your questions you will have to accept and embrace them because the answers are what made you who you are today. Some people go through life without ever knowing what love is because it was never given to them. Until you understand why you are, who you are, you will not understand why you are attracted to the wrong person or the person who is not right for you. JMHO

I am sorry but I believe that life can be a fairy tale with the right person. I have never married but continue my search for that right person. I have made mistake and often repeated the same one. Only because of my forgiving nature and my faith. I do know my self very well. We are all made up of experience that we have been through in life. Both good and bad. I take the good as wisdom and the bad as lessons. It is how we choose to use the lessons that we learn that define us. Because of the good and the bad. I have become a better person everyday. And I am still hopeful that one day I will find someone that believe that life can be a fairytale and we both will live happily ever after. If I am guilty of anything it is expecting too much. I know that no one is perfect. We are only human. But to find someone compassionate and loving with a good heart is hard now days with all the obstacles that distracts us from the big picture.

Emotions are not tools of cognition . . . one must differentiate between one’s thoughts and one’s emotions with full clarity and precision. One does not have to be omniscient in order to possess knowledge; one merely has to know that which one does know, and distinguish it from that which one feels. Nor does one need a full system of philosophical epistemology in order to distinguish one’s own considered judgment from one’s feelings, wishes, hopes or fears.
