Answer 2

Emotions are electric impulses in your brain created by the brain itself. Happiness or sadness is caused by certain circumstances in life, which leads to emotion in your brain. When this happens the brain instructs various cells in the body to produce a series of proteins and enzymes that interact with the skin, the nervous system, and the brain, thus making you capable of feeling the emotion.

You feel emotions because you must be motivated somehow by the non-emotional part of your brain. When you have friends (allies), new mobile (technology that helps to survive), a membership in a local group (safe place in community),, etc. you feel happiness. It is a pleasurable feeling because your brain wants to maintain the conditions that caused the emotion in order to ensure your survival (survival potential percentage).

When you feel sadness, you have lost an ally, an opportunity or anything that helped your survival in any ways. Pain motivates you to move on, act, and change the current situation. Once you achieved sg. good. you feel happiness again... in order to maintain these conditions.

It is just brain work. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Emotions are what we feel when our body state changes. Blood pressure goes up or down, quantities of blood is relocated, the heart beats faster or slower, our secretions flow in all parts of the body, our organs react. All of this as the result of adrenaline and other harmones released when we react to a stimulus.

Answer 4

Mind has two sides, logical and emotional. While humans are called rational beings, i.e. logical, they also are social animals, i.e. they flock together. And with a group comes conflict, cooperation, love, hate etc., i.e. emotions. So, we need to balance both these aspects.

If we did not have any emotions, we will not be different from computers and other logical machines.

Answer 5

For survival. Apparently emotions are helpful in "higher" forms of life, especially in social animals.
