Abolish Emotions
hey
i was watching the film "Equilibrium" some time ago
and i waasn't able to stop thinking of it
I think it is a very good Idea to abolish Emotions because they:
-declare war
-cause suicide
-make pupils run amok
-create jeallous monsters
etc.
many people will say now things like "what's the reason in life than anymoe?!"
i answer:
what is it atm?
falling in love to feel get hurt or be happy?
when you happy may get hurt even worse in 2-5 years?
crying 2 years cause your mother died?
just tell me what YOU thinking about it and why!

You hold a very fundamental understanding of what "emotion" is. At the heart of it, beyond happy and sad, emotion is a driving force behind discovery - the curiosity that leads people to question the nature of the heavens and the earth around us. Abolishing emotion is the abolishment of intuition, and without intuition, progress cannot be made, as astute observation cannot be made.
War is made by the foolish, and suicide is performed by the depressed (or the desperately ill). These are not necessarily emotions, but handicaps in the minds of the individuals involves - one requires an education, and the second requires medication.
Emotions, when combined with a great intellect, do not cause conflict, but an expansion of horizons. Emotions, particularly helplessness, when combined with supreme idiocy or apathy invite acceptances of "things are just because they are" much like you have made today.
Sadness is a fundamental need of human beings, for without the bad times, there are no good.

What m0o said.
Also, I think equilibrium was more about those in control having emotions, and denying liberties to the populous with valid but stupid logic.
Like that crispy lady from equilibrium said, without emotions, what is breath but a countdown to your demise.
Life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% of how I react to it. No emotions, no reaction, no life.

Pretty much this.
Think of a world with just plain apathy though. It'd be a pretty boring life, doesn't matter what the meaning of it is, since the meaning of your life is whatever you chose it to be. Depending on your goals and dreams, etc.
