If you could eliminate one emotion from the world, would you? Which one? Why?

If I could, I would eliminate anger, as it is the cause of many crimes done out of revenge and is the root of many other emotions such as hatred and impulse. When one is angry, he might cause hurt, both physically or emotionally, to those around him. Physical hurt can occur when the angry person loses control of himself and goes into a beserk rage, this will cause him to hit others unintentionally, thus causing injury and physical hurt. Emotional hurt can occur when the angry person loses control of himself and says sensitive or hurtful things that he or she should have not said. Thus, If this world was void of anger, we would be happier and not recieve this kind of neccecary hurt.

Secondly, anger causes hatred, which leads to acts such as revenge and murder. This will cause many crimes and deaths to take place, because one's impulse for revenge was to strong at that time and he could not control himself. Thus, if anger was removed from this world, there would be no such thing, and people would learn to forgive and forget. This world would be a better place.

Well, most people i know would say that they would eliminate sadness from this world, but in my opinion, I feel that sadness sometimes is able to make one a better person in life. Sadness makes one treasure the ones around him more, It makes him face the hardships of life and turn over a new leaf. Take for example an alchoholic. He has succumbed to alchohol and one by one, his closest friends are starting to leave him. Slowly, his parents start to stay away from him as he starts to unintentionally hurt them. The alchoholic, upon seeing this, would definitely feel sadness and want to revert back to his normal life, where he still has all his friends. This sadness will thus cause him to want to turn over a new leaf and thus go for rehabitilation. he will also learn to treasure his close ones more, having lost them once before. This is the power of sadness, however bad it may seem, it has its good side too. This is the reason i did not want to erase sadness and chose to eliminate anger instead.
