Emotions
evolved
for
one
specific
purpose
:
to
help
us
live
and
reproduce
a
little
bit
better
.
That
’
s
it
.
They
’
re
feedback
mechanisms
telling
us
that
something
is
either
likely
right
or
likely
wrong
for
us
—
nothing
more
,
nothing
less
.
Much
as
the
pain
of
touching
a
hot
stove
teaches
you
not
to
touch
it
again
,
the
sadness
of
being
alone
teaches
you
not
to
do
the
things
that
made
you
feel
so
alone
again
.
Emotions
are
simply
biological
signals
designed
to
nudge
you
in
the
direction
of
beneficial
change
.
Look
,
I
don
’
t
mean
to
make
light
of
your
midlife
crisis
or
the
fact
that
your
drunk
dad
stole
your
bike
when
you
were
eight
years
old
and
you
still
haven
’
t
gotten
over
it
,
but
when
it
comes
down
to
it
,
if
you
feel
crappy
it
’
s
because
your
brain
is
telling
you
that
there
’
s
a
problem
that
’
s
unaddressed
or
unresolved
.
In
other
words
,
negative
emotions
are
a
call
to
action
.
When
you
feel
them
,
it
’
s
because
you
’
re
supposed
to
do
something
.
Positive
emotions
,
on
the
other
hand
,
are
rewards
for
taking
the
proper
action
.
When
you
feel
them
,
life
seems
simple
and
there
is
nothing
else
to
do
but
enjoy
it
.
Then
,
like
everything
else
,
the
positive
emotions
go
away
,
because
more
problems
inevitably
emerge
.
Emotions
are
part
of
the
equation
of
our
lives
,
but
not
the
entire
equation
.
Just
because
something
feels
good
doesn
’
t
mean
it
is
good
.
Just
because
something
feels
bad
doesn
’
t
mean
it
is
bad
.
Emotions
are
merely
signposts
,
suggestions
that
our
neurobiology
gives
us
,
not
commandments
.
Therefore
,
we
shouldn
’
t
always
trust
our
own
emotions
.
In
fact
,
I
believe
we
should
make
a
habit
of
questioning
them
.
Many
people
are
taught
to
repress
their
emotions
for
various
personal
,
social
,
or
cultural
reasons
—
particularly
negative
emotions
.
Sadly
,
to
deny
one
’
s
negative
emotions
is
to
deny
many
of
the
feedback
mechanisms
that
help
a
person
solve
problems
.
As
a
result
,
many
of
these
repressed
individuals
struggle
to
deal
with
problems
throughout
their
lives
.
And
if
they
can
’
t
solve
problems
,
then
they
can
’
t
be
happy
.
Remember
,
pain
serves
a
purpose
.
But
then
there
are
those
people
who
overidentify
with
their
emotions
.
Everything
is
justified
for
no
other
reason
than
they
felt
it
.
“
Oh
,
I
broke
your
windshield
,
but
I
was
really
mad
;
I
couldn
’
t
help
it
.
”
Or
“
I
dropped
out
of
school
and
moved
to
Alaska
just
because
it
felt
right
.
”
Decision
-
making
based
on
emotional
intuition
,
without
the
aid
of
reason
to
keep
it
in
line
,
pretty
much
always
sucks
.
You
know
who
bases
their
entire
lives
on
their
emotions
?
Three
-
year
-
old
kids
.
And
dogs
.
You
know
what
else
three
-
year
-
olds
and
dogs
do
?
Shit
on
the
carpet
.
An
obsession
and
overinvestment
in
emotion
fails
us
for
the
simple
reason
that
emotions
never
last
.
Whatever
makes
us
happy
today
will
no
longer
make
us
happy
tomorrow
,
because
our
biology
always
needs
something
more
.
A
fixation
on
happiness
inevitably
amounts
to
a
never
-
ending
pursuit
of
“
something
else
”
—
a
new
house
,
a
new
relationship
,
another
child
,
another
pay
raise
.
And
despite
all
of
our
sweat
and
strain
,
we
end
up
feeling
eerily
similar
to
how
we
started
:
inadequate
.
Psychologists
sometimes
refer
to
this
concept
as
the
“
hedonic
treadmill
”
:
the
idea
that
we
’
re
always
working
hard
to
change
our
life
situation
,
but
we
actually
never
feel
very
different
.
