Humans -

Why do we have emotions? I personally see no valid reason for us to have emotions to the fullest extent that we do. Sure it’s wonderful to feel loved and to love someone, but what is it worth? Is loving somebody worth the pain and anguish we go through to get there? Or the pain and heart break we experience afterward? If there was a God he wouldn’t have made us to where we love and break hearts because broken hearts can lead to extremes. Extremes such as murder, suicide, rampages, and the like.

So… What’s the point? Is it to heighten our mating rituals? If so then we humans need to understand ourselves and get it into our heads at we are meant for multiple mating partners. Alas, that’s not how some people want to go about with their lives. So people (like me) live a dream of an everlasting love, growing old with somebody who simply loves you for who you are and you love them in return. But if some of us have this dream of falling in love and an urge to commit to that person and stay for as long as they can, then why have some people been built to want more? Is it their upbringing? The only way I can see it would be some body’s upbringing is that if somebody was raised by a single parent who continually brings in and shows their child the lifestyle of many partners. Or perhaps the media, but I’m straying too far from my original subject. So why do we get this baggage and animals seem so care free?

Animals mate just fine without soap opera drama and broken hearts. So what’s the point? Why do we have to deal with stress from work, home, friends, and from our lover and the rest of the animals of the kingdom basically get to mate (because of course there are mating rituals that require some animals to compete for the attention of the opposite sex)?
