Emotions are what run all living things; the emotional desire for the continuation of its survival; the emotional desire for that which gives it pleasure, and the desire to not have any pain; and in humans, as we have an identity, we also have an emotional desire for grandeur; which is why kings conquered countries, created statues of themselves; and in the modern world, why people want to be Hollywood stars, and conversely we have a fear of shame, and corollary, we have anger, when we’ve been unjustly hurt; but to live an emotion based life, is no different to being an animal, which doesn’t think, and doesn’t make its decisions, it’s just reacting to how it was created; which is basically, western stupidity of how to live life; but the truth is, if you want to be happy, you also have a Divine soul – a sense of right and wrong, and only through activating your Divine soul, and choosing to make a difference, and actually making that difference! will you feel like your life has any meaning and purpose, and through feeling that your life is valuable and is making a meaningful and purposeful difference; that and only that, is truly what won’t be a fleeting pleasure or a fear, or evil / anger; rather quite simply A MEANINGFUL AND HAPPY LIFE!
