No one argues that feelings are important. But the question is, are all feelings important, and what is their nature?

Yes, it’s impossible to live without emotions. One might exist, but not live as a fully realized person. However, consider that choleric people, that is, the most emotional people, are the most difficult to interact with. Living with them is like walking on eggshells. Emotions often prevail over reason, leading them to actions that are harmful to themselves. So, emotions, like any phenomenon, cannot be seen as something unequivocally positive or negative. Let’s remember the words of Paracelsus: “All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes a thing not poisonous.” P.S. And in general, how can one deeply contemplate such an unreal state as the absence of all emotions? :confused:

Yes, there is only one step from medicine to poison.

But I'm not talking about feelings – sight, hearing, etc. – but about love, compassion, and so on.

And I'm talking about them, not about the senses. I gave the example of choleric people – I think that makes my statement quite clear...
But a person without emotions is a product of fantasy, not a real possibility, don't you think?

A person without emotions is theoretically possible, but it would require years of training, and it wouldn't be very interesting...

And what am I right about? That they are all insensitive fools?

No. Rather, that in order to definitely give up on emotions, you should start by dying :D. Otherwise, it just won't work.

Eeeeeee! But I don't recommend it :)

and also useless... it would be much more interesting if a person could turn off unnecessary emotions...

I don't know about Necropolis players who supposedly feel nothing at all (although I doubt such people exist; it's not something you can develop), but there's already quite a bit of evidence that "vampire" types of people exist, who "feed" on the energy of others, which manifests as emotions. What do you think about that?

I know, it's not always great for them either (well, for some of them), because while some "drain" energy just for pleasure, others do it because they lack their own life force...

It’s clear that if they’re downloading it, they need it. It’s as essential to them as air. So, here’s the other side of the coin. Some try to get rid of emotions, while others seek them in others.

Or maybe emotions are just a fabrication, something to prevent boredom? Some people live without love, without friendship, and feel perfectly comfortable. While others, on the contrary, need to constantly experience strong emotions.

Maybe emotions are just a fabrication, something to prevent boredom? Some people live without love, without friendship, and feel perfectly comfortable. Others, on the contrary, just want to dwell on things.

That happens too. Yeah, just to have something to talk about. Or to wallow in self-pity for several pages.

It is impossible to live without emotions. To exist without meaning is possible, but pointless...
People live without love, without friendship, and become morally bankrupt individuals who, for their own sake, would burn half the world to rise above others. But they are also emotionally invulnerable – it's impossible to influence them...
It turns out that there is a limit – it's a personal matter for everyone. But, as the Poles say, "Too much of anything is harmful."

Do you think I'm a morally depraved person? Thank you.
They're right.

Indeed, why immediately label them as morally reprehensible? They are simply different, and you cannot compare them to emotional people. In general, every person is unique, and you cannot say that emotions are necessary for everyone or unnecessary for no one. Everyone chooses the path they are willing to follow. I tried to give up emotions, and I almost succeeded, but then I decided to return to them.
