Human thought is not important but the living organisms drives for survival are useful for survival. Most of what our culture understands as 'emotion' is thought and completely useless for daily living. The drive to run when confronted with something trying to eat you is great for the survival of your body and generally called the emotion fear. This is important if you want to survive. The thought that someone has hurt the imaginary entity called 'you' in some way and is now causing more thought called the emotion anger or sadness is completely useless.

Logical thought is not the only tool available to the human mind. Emotions are also tools, but without the skill of interpreting them, such as when one reacts out of emotion alone, they are not being used as effectively as possible.

Human emotions can cause adrenaline rushes leading us to great and horrible things. I don't know the purpose of emotions, but sadness, happiness, anger all must have some relationship to our survival. It would seem to me that they make us more aware of our environment and hence more attune to deal with it.

human beings don't have any monopoly on thoughts all of us belong to a Monkeyhood community.... Scientists hint laughter again 16million years... by tickling apes by Fiona Macrae very last as a lot as date at 11:07 AM on 05th June 2009 * reviews (19) * upload to My thoughts As technology experiments pass, it replaced into actual hoot. Researchers mapping the evolution of laughter gently tickled the ft, palms, necks and armpits of toddler human beings and apes. by analysing the sounds the animals made - giggles, hoots, grunts and pants - they concluded that laughter might want to be traced again some 16million years, and that it advanced alongside an similar pathway as our evolution.

Of course. If we went about our lives feeling nothing then everything would be the same and completely pointless. Even though everything is pretty pointless now i guess. Ah i think too much...
