Me? No one

Why? First you think I'm bragging, now you think someone scorned me just because I (rather intimately) felt scorn for someone's demise. What impression am I giving you, exactly? Perhaps it was not on purpose

That's how we usually think of them, I reckon. But, think about a person that shows no emotion, but has an outstanding intelligence: would you really say that's a desirable human trait? And that this person is fit to live in society? That'd turn out to be an autistic psychopath

Apathy is kind of the opposite of emotion...

Originally posted by Lira That's why I think scorn is, by far and away, the worst emotion you can feel. But, I could be missing something here. In your opinion, what do you think is the most undesirable emotion there is?

Without scorn there could be no greatness in the world. Without scorn, there would be no peer pressure and no-self motivation. We would all be languishing in mediocrity.

For me, the worst emotion is the absence of feeling altogether. Complete apathy. I don't really experience it these days, but in my teens I had minor depressive episodes charaterised by a complete disconnection from emotion. It's a strange feeling that I can only really equate to despair - despair at your inabilty to interact in a meaningful way with the outside world or enjoy things that you should. I can only imagine what full-blown clinical depression is like.

You mean empathy?

jealousy is terrible

when a woman starts crying for no reason and you want to punch her for silence.

I just read your original post wrong, my fault

Very true apathy is the suppression of emotions, I guess if we were talking about colors it would be compared to black.

Then again black is not a color... but in practice it still is.

I certainly don’t think emotions are bad or whatnot, I just see them as opposite rational thought processes, though obviously they both mingle together at parties.

People obviously need both to be “well-rounded” or functional members of their social sphere. But I still see intelligence as thinking, and emotions as feeling, therefore different.
