If you had to choose between having to feel everything or nothing at all, what would you choose and why?

Having and not having emotions can be very tricky, they take a hold of your life: the way you think, act and react. What's the pro and cons of the two if it was either the one or the other?#

Having Feelings

Pros- having emotions in whatever state is what makes you the person you are, they help to counteract your brain into making decisions and get through life they enable you to react to every situation but also help you learn and understand the reason why you reacted to that given feeling I think it’s important to have feelings and the fact that you can choose between how the brain thinks and how the emotions react to make that final decision that makes you content with your choice. It also helps to understand other people’s feelings too so you can reciprocate theirs and know what there going through which is important for support and helping others.

Cons- if you didn’t have feelings I guess you would be cold, heartless and basically always act on instinct straight away as the saying goes, use your brain first before you speak, I suspect every decision you make without feelings depending on the situation would work 50/50 it would hurt but also it would benefit showing others your strengths but also your weaknesses too, not to mention the things you would say and do that would have positive and negative impact on others hell you may even impact their personal lives based on your actions of not having feelings.

In short as a whole I couldn’t live with one without the other my feelings help to fine tune the person I am but at the same time my brain helps me to understand the choices I make in life and the reasons why, sometimes when we interact with others your emotions can overrule your thinking but coming to a self compromise can help in every given situation so that in the end you and others can be content with the decisions.

That’s my take on it
