Emotion and instinct are inextricably linked and work together in translating outside stimuli for the ultimate success or wellbeing of an organism. How you feel about something determines your behavior.
Another perspicuously written post Amayos. I was going to anthropmorhise your response, but then I had to admit to myself that you, Amayos, are just a man and not the great, furry, furtive, intelligent sasquach of NH ---- that elusive beastman so curiously portrayed in the "In Search of" episodes.
No, but seriously, when did you become such an optimist? I thought you were from the "spock" school of thought whereby human emotions are considered both irrational and destructive --- (and in my experience often self serving to boot.)
But here you claim that our emotions work to protect our well being!! Frankly, I think you must have written this right after a satisfying sexual episode. To provide a bit more equilibrium to your position, I suggest you call your mother and argue with her a bit on the phone, after which you can revisit how emotions positively serve a human being.
My guess is you'll be a little less optimistic.
O, and given that you seem to have some impressive answers to complex questions about the human condition and our emotional, pychological makeup, I want to ask you, have you seen Pelosi's HBO documentary FRIENDS WITH GOD.
How do you explain those nut jobs?
