Are feelings necessary?

Answer 1

I FEEL so !
:-))

Answer 2

Feelings are necessary for humans to belong the way we were intended. Of course people can learn to turn them off and behave like a drone, sometimes successfully. And some of us were not born with the wiring to comprehend normal feelings. Feelings are what drive most people. They feel a need to reproduce, they feel a need to protect, they feel a need to cause harm. Feelings will always guide our actions indirectly, but when feelings, or one specific feeling causes abnormal behavior - when a person crosses the line because of their feelings then there is a serious problem within this person. No matter what caused the feelings. I believe that in my country we are taught to shut out our feelings while we put on a proud face. We need to mourn and embrace our feelings. When we are happy, we need to share it however we can.

Answer 3

Humans, use logic and reason to asses situations. In most cases, feelings play a part in determining which act is 'right' or 'wrong', morally, socially or ethically.

I doubt humans can not have feelings, because as babies we are born with the 3 basic emotions. Like; a basic form of Love, Dislike; a basic form of Hate and Resentment; a basic form of Anger.

Emotions give way to feelings. The question, doesn't stand for itself when asked if it is necessary.

But i would say, yes it is. That's why when you put your feelings into somethings. It has a 'human touch' to it.

Answer 4

An emphatic YES!!
Feelings are the one thing that really defines us as human and not just essentially animals,basing our day to day routines on instinct or desires.
Feelings help us even when reason and logic tell us other wise.
A murderer might have logically reasoned out for himself why he should kill, but feelings of guilt and shame can keep him from doing it.
Answer's to day to day question's that you might or might not know sometimes come from a feeling that it is a sound correct answer.
feelings can be a blessing and a curse it can lead you to doing things in an extreme emotional state that you might never do normally, both good and bad..i.e. and act of courage against some injustice you perceive or a fit of violence because of some jealous urge.!!
the real trick to emotions is gaining the wisdom and experience too use them wisely.
expressing negative feelings can be just as good as expressing positive ones.
It just depends on how you use them and what you learn from them.
I think most everyone agrees that you shouldn't let your emotions rule you though.
Life is the quintessent sum of all your feelings, the happiness and the heart break.

Answer 5

Every feeling is necessary. I recommend Dylan Evans' books about emotions. Very readable.

Answer 6

I think so. What if we couldn't feel love? or happiness? That would be so sad. Those are two of the best feelings in the world. I guess it sucks to feel pain (emotianal or physical), but you have to take the good with the bad. I think that it would be a very sad world if we didn't have any feelings.

Interesting question...You are getting a star from me!! :-)

Answer 7

You're asking the wrong question. Since feelings are a part of every human life, and they will never go away.

Feelings are innate. We are conceived and born with them. Therefore you must learn to deal with them.

Feelings are human. So how do you feel right now? :)

Answer 8

I think so - I do think that sometimes feelings get in the way but would we be able to survive without feelings? Imagine no love, happiness, sadness, etc. It would be a pretty ordinary world if none of us had feelings!

Answer 9

FEELING ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE IT'S WHAT TELL US WHAT'S RIGHT

Answer 11

No, If a mother didn't feel love for her infant children and just left them on the side of the road, I'm sure they'd make it just fine.
