the nature of emotion

many philosphers make out life to be one of thought and intellect, but there is not as much focus of one's emotions. Emotions are what arguably drives the real forces of human nature, whether or not people agree with that it has merit. The drives may not be full of logic but when someone feels a deep desire of anger, greed, love the reaction is displayed and the action is committed. Humans have been driven by all sorts of emotions and whether or not it is the ideal "good" life that is desired by many of the ancient and modern philosophers it is the point that makes people unique. if people lived their lives based on logic then many people would not find joy or happiness other than in contemplation and idleness, part of what makes this world good is the fact that people can be expressed and in a sense felt by those around them. the interconnectedness of people to each other is part of the bond that makes emotions possible and integral to every type of action and feeling that it projects. being part of this world is something that philosophers do not generally hold in high praise but in doing that part of what it is to be human is rejected from that person.
