The Basics Of Human Emotions.

I keep writing about all these things regarding emotions because i am an anti emotions guy.
Emotions can be actually divided into two basic catagories basic and complex, something like the color wheel. more complex colors can be derived from the basic three colors.No one can say what is a complex emotion, it depends on the perceptiveness of a person. For some Anger can be a basic emotion whereas for others it might be a complex emotion which may consist of jealousy frustration depression and many more things combined.
Another more easier classification of emotion is long-term emotion and short-term emotion. The best example of long-term emotion is "love"(which actually is losing its long term status). The short-term include surprise anger and every other emotions which can be triggered within seconds.
As i had written previously that emotions arise from your right brain and logic and practicallity from your left brain. These emotions according to some theories are results of the chemical "laucha" in our brains.
The major two theories which actually are able to define emotions and the origin of emotions are
1. Somatic theories
2. James-Lange theory
According to me the major five emotions which could actually describe a human being would be
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Anger
4. Grief
5. Fear
Fear is a personal favorite of mine. These five basic emotions give rise to other more complex emotions.
I have been latelly thinking from both the side of the hedge. A world without emotions and a world with emotions.
well actually a world without emotions would be atleast crime free. And the competition won't exist. But we would never be able to enjoy the reason for our existence. A world with emotions would just be exactly like the world we are living rite now. Full of atrocities and "attyachars". Well we can't complain of the life we are living.

Well fantastic, but its very hard to accept your views about emotions. No man can live without emotions. He is not worthy to be called a human being.
