Emotions in a perfect world?

Question

If Adam didn't sin, he'd be "perfect". If he didn't eat the fruit, we'd be living in a world of Robots.

How do we show all different emotions in a "Perfect world"?

Answer 1

Perhaps your idea of 'perfect' is a tad askew.
Perfect only means working according to original design.
It doesn't mean one can do anything at all, know everything, or fly.
God is perfect and He has emotions ....thank goodness!

Answer 2

I like some of the answers that I have read and they both spark some food for thought. My opinion is that perfection is imperfect in itself. So what do I mean by that? Well as human beings we have a human need for growth, it's not an option, we NEED to grow on some level consistently even when that growth is barely noticeable.

If life were perfect then how would we grow? There would be nothing to look forward to and life would not be as we know it. I believe that in a perfect world we would all be growing and improving upon ourselves and contributing beyond ourselves. We would show our emotions in the same way as we do now because perfection is subjective. What's perfect to one person is totally depressing to another. We would not be able to have a world that appeals to everyone's view of "perfect", it's up to us as individuals to make our own perfect world and contribute something that leaves a lasting impact on some level.

The point of all this is that yes we would be robots if that were considered perfect but there is a reason that it's not. Maybe it was God's intention for Adam to eat the fruit because God knew that there would be no point to having a world where everyone was all nice and the same.

I hope this gives you something to ponder. My name is Chris Lyons and my personal development website is; http://www.endlesshumanpotential.com/ there is a lot of content there on the study of human potential, which may provide some more food for thought.

Thus proving there is no such things as an insignificant or unwarrented emotion and furthermore, the truth that there are things that can never truly be "proven".
