Zeus 06/04/17 4:22:56 AM #8:	EclairReturns posted... But if you were happy, and didn't know what sadness or anger felt like, doesn't that kind of diminish the worth of this "eternal happiness" and such? No, because you wouldn't experience those other things. You'd only experience euphoria. Granted, you could be happy-sad and happy-angry within certain contexts but even then happiness would largely override it. Mead posted... I think paradise would be existence without feeling You might just be thinking of drugs =p idk, complete detachment feels like it has feasibility issues. If nothing makes you happy, afraid, etc, I'm not sure you'd even get out of bed in the morning. Granted, I guess the same could be said for only feeling happiness. After all, emotion is embedded in our DNA as a survival instinct. We're programmed to pursue certain behaviors which contribute to our bodily or genetic survival, which is why procreative activities feel good, why eating feels good, etc. We're programmed with fear for self-preservation and anger for variations of the same. jedirood posted...
