If you could remove one emotion from your daily existence, which one would it be and why?

Hmm... the only emotion I've ever had trouble controlling isn't really an emotion, per se... and that's boredom. The problem is, if you ever tell anyone that you're bored, they always think they're being smart by doing things to make you angry or afraid. Ha ha ha.

How about suggesting something fun? In any case, there are three basic emotions, variations and combinations of which all other emotions are based, and they are: Love, Hate, and Fear. I see no problem with any of them as long as they can be controlled, and in fact, I've seen situations where if an emotion had not been part of the experience of a phenomena, then an appropriate reaction might not have happened.

What I've seen is that for some people, emotion is just another one of the senses, akin to vision and sound and taste and touch and smell, such that emotional feelings are just another one of the input parameters of the perception of a phenomena... those people are able to "control" their emotions, and therefore don't really have much trouble with them. Sure, there are moments when the emotions can get too strong, just like there are times when the music is too loud or when a light is too bright, but they don't get out of hand. Overall they are just another sensory input, such that, insolong as they can be controlled, are not a problem, and in fact, can be quite useful, i.e.

For enhancement of the experience of of sex with a person you're attracted to... it's way more fun when your also in love with the person. But there are other people for whom emotions seem to be part of their actual character and personality. They don't see emotions as something predicating the experience of a phenomena like the way senses add tone and color to perception of phenomena... rather... they behave as if the emotions they feel *are* them, and I would wager that those are the people who would want to see an emotion eliminated altogether.But... elimination of an emotion can be like elimination of a memory.

Studies have shown that if someone has a bad memory and if that memory is wiped, then they just get befuddled, whereas if they can keep the memory without it hurting, then the can function okay. Therefore, I would say that no emotion should eliminated, but instead, what needs to be *added* is a straightforward capacity to control it so that it's just another sensory-type input, instead of it being drilled into your character as an aspect of persona.

I as going to say sadness... but as I was formulating my answer, I realized that without sadness, I would never really be able to experience joy to its fullest extent. It's the counter-balance of emotions which allows us to truly experience them to their fullest. Every emotion has its place and, when we are healthy, is balanced by its counterpart.It's a sort of yin/yang.

So, I guess I would not choose to eliminate any emotion from my daily life, but rather I would choose to be emotionally healthy and balanced. I think we all strive to find that balance on a daily basis.

Self doubt; from 11 years of living with an abusive husband. I was told every day how I was not good enough to make it without him and how worthless I was. It eventually starts to take a toll and you start to doubt everything you do.

Anxiety. Anxiety is physically and mentally exhausting and if I could get rid of all anxiety, I would gladly do so.

Anger...I find myself getting angry very quickly all the time. I don't like it, I know it accomplishes nothing...

It would be resentment. It is completely self-defeating. When we are resentful we are letting the person we are resentful toward use up to much of our energy and space in our head.It is likely that they are not stressing over it, so learn to let resentments go.

Worry, because it leads to other bad things. Stress (which can cause health problems), feelings of sadness/depression/anxiety, keeping your mind occupied throughout the day and your body awake at night, etc.

I would remove the feeling of loss (missing someone) due to the fact that I struggle with it almost daily. I'd love to just turn away from lost friends and let things go.

Fear, because it makes me powerless and I will not be successful at my whatever task I wanted to accomplish that day. theory.com/forum/philosophy/712.html.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
