Advantages of emotion:
1) Adds aesthetic value to the world
2) Helps us understand the world more easily? (but not necessarily better)
3) Emotions like fear help us stay away from danger

Disadvantages of emotion:
1) When a person is emotional, s/he is less likely to think logically
2) Mismatch in emotions may result in a conflict
3) Without emotions, our lives would be rather meaningless?
when we talk abou Advantages and Disadvantages , it's supposed to be about the SUBJECT and it's positive and negative points.

thus I don't see how should be part of the DISADVANTAGE, seeing that it's pretty much covered in point #2 for Advantages.

from my POV - EMOTIONS is just our expression some people choose to display it, others are good at hiding.

problems arise when EMOTIONS are not under control, or left to influence decision making.

Yes, some people (e.g. diplomats & politicians) are very good at hiding their true emotions, but it still affects us even if we try not to let it cloud our judgement. And very often, people do not even try to control their emotions especially when they get into an argument.


ahh, that's what we think they're good at hiding.

there's one documentary that I watch, it was very interesting.

one part of it was explaining how body language could give away what the person is feeling inside.

even how they stood, how they walk, how the hand supports them when they speak and so on. biggrin.gif interesting huh?
