Perhaps I can help?
My emotions are broken and I have very little empathy.
Any questions?

I do get out of bed in the mornings, because I do have to work to pay the bills, as I don't want to be homeless. But I don't wake up all excited and full of energy like many people.
I see empathy, someone has some good news they share and everyone else around them is smiling and wishing them well.
I will say something to be polite, but I don't feel anything.
Because I don't feel it, I don't really understand it.

Only without emotions could you make a decision to drop a Nuclear Bomb on innocent people. Some scientists at the time did not even expect the reaction to stop and were afraid he could destroy the entire planet but being such a noble man as he was he went ahead anyway.

98% of people just have total apathy, so i doubt anyone can say they feel.
Love is a load of bull too, when you think what you people do for it.

Having emotions is a great thing. It makes us feel alive.
The problem most of us have is controlling them and thinking before we act.
Its a lifetime challenge especially when a lot of emotions are hormone induced.

Is having emotions a good thing or a bad thing. When we get angry, sometimes too angry, then later we regret the actions we take part in.
But then again we have love, where we would sacrifice ourselves for another human soul.
Emotions, they have positive and negative affects on humans...
Here is the interesting part: How would we perceive the world without emotions.
Now ponder with me, if there was no hate, how would we know love? If there was no sadness, how would we know happiness? It would all be the same for us..
So are humans merely robots without emotions?
