The Insignificance Of Human Emotions

“There are many flaws of humans. However, the one flaw that makes humans, imperfect are emotions” — Apathetic Philosophy

As per the quotation used above, It states that the quality and presence of “Human Emotions” is a constant flaw in every human being.

The Justification Of The Invalid Demands Proposed by Emotions

Humans are known to be social beings, It is an established fact that every human being requires their emotional needs as much as physical needs and this is an upfront that stands as a basic need. The need for social support or in terms of human quotations “A friendly ear” or “A touch of affection” and this is basically an exchange if explained in simple terms. An exchange of needs, how are emotions related to basic needs? It is quite simple to think about it.

“Friendship” or “A Deep bond” are basically exchanges of favor through a manner that is considered as an act of kindness or this can also be re-phrased as “Responsibility” to justify the give-free trade of favors. As per the term “Give-Free trade” it is meant to signify the trade of two individuals under an impression that it is a free trade with no exchange yet the other person always expects a return of favor. As the most intelligent species on earth, it sure is a Trump card as when a certain individual fulfills a need or task for the other person before he/she demands it. It serves as an obvious front of returning the favor by any means believed by human psychology. Therefore, the most kind people with the disguise of a soft heart is often popular with other humans as everyone is allowed to fulfill their emotional needs or simply ask for a favor when needed without the guilt or the front known as “Trade”. Having a friend serves as both emotional and physical needs due to the fact that they are willing to trade anytime and are always easily available, It also helps to attract more friends in the circle creating a wide exchange. However, it must also be taken into consideration that emotions are not also just a simple exchanged. After all human are social beings and to satisfy their personal interest, “Friendship” is the most soft front to find someone who shares a similar mindset or a similar quality they both share to deepen the reliability on their trade partners.

All species of animals or creatures always require a way to produce an offspring to continue their generations or more accurately put, simply to share their lust to mate with a suitable partner. Thus, this lust of re-producing or sharing the pleasure has been changed in terms of meaning to avoid the guilt of calling it as a body interest resulting it to be a bond known as “Love”.

“Love” is the ultimate front to put up when an individual shares an interest on the others abilities or just the sexual lust, Some may even choose for a partner for Love if he/she is a suitable companion who can provide more emotional support than the average can do. It is simply a agreement of partnership to trade their needs in a more deeply involved way for a longer period of time and more prioritized. This strategy of trading their needs, avoids the insignificant guilts or regrets and also adds an advantage to demand for attention or sympathy if in any case with a valid reason one can leave. The reasons to leave this partnership can be a loss of interest in a single constant individual or if the other partner doesn’t repay the debts on the terms they agreed on. If in any case the proposed partner refuses, the other individual has a valid reason to be seen as deprived and depressed to attract sympathy and other partners for replacement.

( The term “Depression” is quoted as a stage where an individual lacks emotional needs)

“Depressed” or “Sad” are also one of the tricks or factors used by Mankind to gain companions and get known among other humans. An individual who claims to be depressed attracts the sympathy of others. Sympathy is another form of a proposal to a kind trade. In this method to gain more companions in order to exchange more needs and wants, it is beneficial for both sides. Due to the fact that one individual, helping another individual in the name of sympathy is often known to be nice or gentle among other humans. However, an individual being kind to one is also kind to others, and therefore gaining popularity in a good will is the best way to wield authority over others by returning their favors in a good will. Such salvation is basically a currency that passes on to one another to benefit oneself by disguising oneself as a kind and thoughtful individual to gain popularity and trust, kindness can also be used to solve self-guilt by helping the other person therefore it is Lie fabricated on the sole purpose of self-satisfaction and benefit. It also provides a sign that symbolizes that the individual is an available trader. As for the one receiving sympathy attracts more traders and thus this cycle continues.

However, to disguise the true nature of human intentions or to simply avoid the guilt of the masses. Every society applies certain rules and create a different opinion mindset that re-assures the individuals of it’s pure intention and care.

It is also noteworthy that some individuals accept and truly feel these ideals known as “Love” towards another available partner. This feeling is basically as explained in science, a chemical called “Dopamine” is released to the brain to feel its emotional pleasures. In other words, the other individual becomes a necessity for one’s emotional needs. That affection and love is the only pure form of Love that exists. No matter how much it is broken down to see its true nature, there is no spot left for explanation in a logical sense. As it is a pure form of Emotion. The willingness to fulfill any needs or wants for the other person without any payment or expectation is a complete affection-based feeling that exists in rare cases.

“Your body cares about your social needs because millions of years ago, it was a great indicator of how likely you were to survive. To avoid that your body came up with social pain.” — Loneliness Matters: A Theoretical and Empirical Review of Consequences and Mechanisms, 2010

Therefore, In conclusion

Human emotions are mostly based on the sole purpose of self-satisfaction and interest, even though it has indeed developed as a psychology, it is yet not purely based on pure emotions.
