How would humans act without emotions?

Emotions can basically change your whole day, your opinions, your actions, etc. So what would happen without them?
How would humans act without emotions?
Like robots.





Since logic is all there is.
How would humans act without emotions?
Without emotions humans would act solely on logic and programed knowledge turning us basically into robots.
Reply:Like Vulcans from Star Trek!
Reply:well it is tempting to say we would become animalistic but I feel that animals also experience joy and saddness (and much more) I`m not sure how it would be without them but I do know that its how we choose to deal with our emotions that can have an effect on our daily lives. I can`t imagine a world with out emotion.
Reply:Pro side...nothing would happen that was driven by greed, envy, lust or anger.


Con side...nothing would be created for the good either. Sad isn%26#039;t it?
Reply:I don%26#039;t really think we%26#039;d do much of anything. There%26#039;d be no motivation.
Reply:If humans got no emotions, then everything would be systematized to the point of perfection. Chaos would be a foreign since no feelings can be provoked and life would be totally dull (but of course, we%26#039;d never know it%26#039;s dull coz we%26#039;d have no emotions.
Reply:We would never know the truth about any moment. Our minds would function, and pass judgment, but would not always be correct. We would not sense, falsehood, betrayal, danger, love, or of needing to help and dislike or dissatisfaction, interest, joy. In a sense we already can bury those emotions, and that is partly why the world is what it is, but if we were incapable of them, the world would be far much worse then it is now, probably like hell.
Reply:All they would do is act. Pretend, make believe.


Most of us get our notions from TV. It is really our only reference anymore. I love movies so dont get me wrong.
Reply:without emotions people would act from inner peace, from calmness, awareness undisturbed by reactive energy movement caused by thoughts of resisting the present moment, expressed as an emotion in the body. love, inner peace, joy, compassion are not emotions, they are qualities of beings. only they are so subtle, and not as impressive as fear, greed, anger, hate etc., so they are overlooked. but this would happen. those qualities of being would come through. finally, undisturbed by the psychodrama we think as normal...
