I need your help guys ;D

[cris]

I was wondering if its possible to get rid of the majority of every negative human emotion ever.
I know for sure that I got rid of depression and anger, but can I take others down with it?

Plus, I'm still young and I'm not old and depressed like you guys ;D

[Misery's Feed Trough]

Well, no, because emotions are part of being human; the good AND the bad.


The name of the game is balance and self-regulation.  It isn't healthy to bottle sadness or anger when it is an appropriate natural response to an event or phenomenon.  By that same token, it isn't healthy to wallow in horror and woe.


And I'm old AND as fucking happy as can be.

That's the golden rule im trying to break! Fuck the balance! Humans dont actually NEED to be sad or angry, and either way it doesnt satisfy any needs whatsoever! In fact, I dont even want to be human anymore! I want to go BEYOND HUMAN, and this is the way im gonna do it ;D

Why this assumption that emotions are positive or negative at all? And even if it were the case, wouldn't going beyond human require to move past all human emotion?

[Misery's Feed Trough]

Of course there is no "beyond human".

The positive one are the ones I like and the negative ones are the ones I dont like ;D

Human suffering is a necessary part of our character. We were shaped by evolution. We became what we are out of struggle. Problems lead to progress.

Besides that as a musician, I have to say all the best music comes partially out of anger and sadness. Otherwise all the stuff you write is really irritating pop music about love and how awesome life is. You know what that sounds suspiciously like? Christian music. And who the fuck wants to listen to that shit?

That's all very well and good to tell me how you define positive and negative. This does not tell me why.

And, as Rev. What's-His-Name? said, there isn't anything "beyond human." We don't have any dogs that are beyond dogs or cars beyond cars. Changing temperament doesn't make one better or superhuman. If that's the case, the Stoics have us beat by years.

BALLS.

I am beyond human...and I hope YOU are, too!

Nope.

All negative human emotions are part of our survival repertoire.

Read Seneca's letters to a stoic.

I'm onto the 100th or so, and can safely say I'm completely immunised against stoicism

As a general comment, the emotions aren't inherently good or bad but you can develop a better control of how they impact your life. And should, otherwise, you know. Burger rage.

[Faust]

All emotion is negative emotion, surrender yourself to logic.

[El Twid]

All emotion is negative emotion, surrender yourself to logic.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...
