Happiness is a response to feeling safe. It increases our communication skills so we can form an allience with people whom we share a common interest with.
Sadness is response to unwanted change. It increases our thinking skills so we can accept and adapt to the change.
Anger is a response to frustration. It increases our physical strenght and devoids us of thinking skills which further increases the problem.
Wait, thats not right at all
Using biological reasoning, I cannot find any reason as to why we evolved with such an emotion. And to make this question even thicker, I cannot find a reason for having the ability to hold a grudge and take revenge when as we all know, this is a self-destructive behavior that amounts to nothing more than digging our own grave.
Even the military rebukes the use of emotions and the #1 rule among martial artists is to never let your emotions cloud your actions.
I asked this question in some internet forums but we cant seem to find a good answer. Anyone here who can have something to share?
This news is 5 days old. I was waiting for someone to make a discussion topic but I guess I had to do it myself afterall.

What will you do if the world is going to end in a month
We all have our secret desires that we want to fulfill before our final breath. If ever everyone learned that humanity is doomed, the government will no longer be needed and might even support anything that the people wanted to do in their last moment.
My question is, what will it be that will make you feel fulfilled?
Can it be achieved in a month?
We had plenty of revolutions that changed our life for the better such as
Rise of Religion which invented the hierarchy of the society and probably the first to use the concept of "Law and Order" to maintain the society
Agricultural Revolution which changed the style of living of our ancestors from nomads into dwellers
Rise of Protestants which changed the authorities of the Church from a ruling organization into mere guidance of society (just as how it should be)
Reniassance which changed our concept of art
Age of Exploration which allowed us to create maps of fabled lands and made contact to people we never thought exists
Industrial Revolution which changed the laws and protected inventions and medicines alike
Revolution on Slavery which made us aware of how low of a human being we can be
World Wars which changed our concept of warfare and weaponries. (e.g using poison, tanks, and atom bomb)
Beatles who revolutionized the music industry
Internet - also known as the Golden Age of Communication
My question is this: What revolution do you want to see next?
I thought about this issue for sometime now and I made some light researches about the arguments to be expected
1. Because inbreeding results into defective children
- The chances of producing defective children occurs to everyone. By this logic, are you saying that people with raised chances of defective birth should be condemned?
2. Because Westermarck Effect says that close family members should not
- Same arguement was raised towards homosexuals and same arguement will be raised again. Be my guest.
3. Because it is disgusting
- I dont think its a valid reason
Conclusion:
I can understand that Incest is a taboo subject and some people can feel disturbed by the thought of it. However, it is outrageous to claim that incest should be illegal and banned in most nations. Your thoughts?

I am wondering, if it is right to teach everyone martial arts than normal sports in their P.E
It is beneficial as it allows the students to protect themselves
But it can be destructive to the society as they can become too full of themselves and become thugs
As humans, weve always been on a quest to find our strenghts and to know what we are good up. And think to ourselves that it is what we are meant to do. However, not everyone is so lucky to find their meaning. If you do not have talent, is hardwork really sufficient to match up with people who has been gifted?
Everyone knows that IQ tests and Academic grades are not the basis for being a genius. Its all about the creativity. And by creativity, it is often misunderstood. What is your misunderstanding of being a genuis?
Let the debates begin
We had so many debates concerning if a fetus=child but we never asked if it is the right thing to do. Abortion was legalized for a reason, but reasons are not enough to proclaim it moral. Let the debates begin!
According to studies, forgiving a person is good for the heart. As it reduces stress in great amounts. But its not a perfect reason for not everyone is wise enough to see their own wrong doings.
Will you forgive a person because it can take off the burden. Or will you demand justice for you do not want another fool wandering around?

Gay Marriage is no longer debate, but an immature and foolish stance.
And right now, it was already discovered that females can now create a baby of their own without any need for sperm. Though dangerous, it still means everything for lesbians
But ofcourse, this discovery cant go undisputed among the religious folks. Let the debate begin!
