Hello readers! I decided to start up an entry based on my philosophy of life! Today is my philosophy on emotions! whee

I see emotions as the proof that someone is alive. To not feel emotions would be to become a lifeless shell of a person, a zombie of sorts, something which is not truly alive. Therefore I welcome all emotions, be it happy biggrin or sad crying , for it is then I know that I am alive. Some people believe that it is better to just feel 'good' emotions and that it would be better if 'bad' emotions are never felt.

What are 'good' and 'bad' emotions anyway? I define 'good' emotions as ones which make you feel that life is worth living, such as pride cool , laughter rofl or love heart , whilst 'bad' emotions are ones that make you think that life is horrible, such as fear gonk , embarrassment redface or loneliness emo .

But I disagree that 'good' emotions are better than 'bad' emotions. For one, 'bad' emotions help us to get stronger and grow as individuals, why would someone work hard to correct their faults or improve themselves if they felt that all was right in the world and their selves? We'd have fat, lazy people everywhere!

Although I said that 'bad' emotions are good, too much of a good thing is always bad. One should never let emotions control them, it is a show of true strength if one can control their emotions, 'good' or 'bad'. As a result, I appreciate life for giving me the gift of emotions.
