What am I talking about?
For example: We Humans remember when something has caused us pain. This memory of pain is necessary for self-preservation. It keeps us from repeating actions that cause physical harm. But, from a *psychological* perspective, the memory of pain causes more damage than the pain itself. So, it seems that evolution discounts emotion, yet we revere it. Your thoughts?
[ I’m interested in evolutionary, psychological, and philosophical viewpoints, but I’m also perfectly willing to accept straight opinion. :-) ]
