>>11474125It is of my personal belief that emotions is a sort of justification by your unconscoius part of the brain to do things that's beneficial for you well being.
Some examples:
Love = reproduction, having a good relationship that ensures a child that can survive on it's own as an adult. Love for relatives ansure that the community the individual lives in is healthy and more capable of survival.
Happiness = Reward for hunting, problem solving and so on.
Sadness = Emotional response that has negative effect if it does something that's percieved harmful by the brain, like loneliness which was almost a gauranteed way of dying in the hunter gatherer stage of humanity.
Just a few and I've drawn the conclusion that emotions are just ways for the unconscious part of the brain to make the conscious part do stuff that has a positive impact on the individual or the group in which the individual lives in.
