Last day i was watching a movie Equilibrium.The concept is that after world war 3 a new world emerges which identify human emotions as the root cause of all conflicts and in the movies people are forced to take a drug to suppress emotions.

Do you think emotions are the root cause of conflicts and misery?Our emotional attachments do makes us miserable sometimes but do you think its something to be suppressed or say something bad??opinions...

Why can we be humans if we don't have emotions at all? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Everything has both good and bad effects.
Money, the root cause of most evils is not necessary a emotion...actually, it's absence of emotion.
People create crimes when they become heartless, most.
So, it's not emotions but emotion-less that causes many crimes.

Also, not applicable in all cases, have some exceptions too
Yes rightly said sandhya.
Sometimes emotions can be the root cause of conflict. Emotions can be expressed in any way, it can be expressed in the form of anger, love, depression, anxiety, happines, etc. if one suppresses it by medicine humans will be emotionless and that may cause more worse situation that anything else.
Emotions must be expressed in some or the other way. Suppose a person is so angry but not expressing it then someday that anger will errupt like a volcano and cause more bad situation.

Yes, if sorrows not dissolved in tears or outburst, it can result in a volcano
It's the very thing that sets us apart from other beings. Scientific studies reveal that even dumb creatures too are capable of emoting! So it would be a grossly exaggerated view if we maintain that it's the root cause of our misery and all! We feel the supreme bliss all because of it! So what causes our misery is also the root which makes life so worth-living!
There are two different opinions on this subject and both are different up to some extent. Emotions are part of any one who has any sense of feeling and can not avoid thinking bad or good but there comes the test of ability. However i agree even the best can come to a breaking point at a given moment.
That's individual specific - the way he or she is brought up - his or her philosophy in life. Our minds are trained in a way assisted by our physical,moral and social environment. Thus,two person react to development in two very different ways!
Exactly where one situation can infuriate some one in particular another may find the same enjoyable. depends totally on mentality and phases one going through.
Even the so-called misery or conflicting experiences in life produces an emotion which is known 'catharsis' - emotional cleansing which makes us better persons!
All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up but that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you. The things look the way you look at them.
Bad,good or indifferent whatever you call them,all would be there in our beings and we have to strike the right emotional balance in order to survive meaningfully! One thing is sure- we can't do without it!
My foolishness has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world. Is that right? :ohmy:

We are induced into committing acts of indiscretion because of the emotional factor! What do you say about that!!
Yes- some times, in the moment of heat. But that is natural, how long can one take unfair onslaught?
Yes emotions are the cause of conflict. :evil:

Definitely if someone tries to make me upset i will by anyway try to make him upset too. :blink: That emotion of being harmed always lead to conflict.And the person who tries it first feel happy to harm others without any cause that is his happiness which make him to harm others. :evil:
That is right, the ones infuriates others just to show their supremacy may find going tough in the end although may find going good in the beginning.
There can be no life without emotions. emotional bond keeps family, friends, lovers and society together. Emotion is the cause of patriotism.

There has to be balancing act. Emotion should be backed by reason. One should consider everything afresh when extreme emotional interval ends.
That is right, the ones infuriates others just to show their supremacy may find going tough in the end although may find going good in the beginning.


And sometimes they easily show their supermacy and get happy to show it and hardly bother for the reaction of others. :evil:
That never pays in the end, one shows the actual facts sooner than later. But that is life for you, you can not help beyond a certain point. Keep on, carry on...
It is true that emotions are root of misery and conflict. But it is not correct that they are the only cause for these 2 things

I don't know if it pays or not as i don't do it but people might be getting something from it that's why they don't stop doing it. :evil:
