Which emotion would I eliminate...

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

In this world, there are so many emotions that can lead to disasters. For example, anger, jealously and even contentment.

Let me share with you the many disasters that would occur before telling you which one of the emotion I would choose to eliminate from the world.

Anger is a very common emotion and people all over the world get angry everyday. Many things can make you angry. For example, you get angry when things doesn’t go your way, you get angry when you dun get what you want and you get angry when someone teases you etc. When angry and the person loses control, he may storm out of the room, scream at you or even start to hit you. Or much worse, do other bad things to you.

However, although anger can lead to bad things, it is relatively controllable. There are many ways to control anger.

Even though contentment is good, too much of it is bad. Contentment makes you satisfied with life and it removes ambition. When you are content with your results, you stop studying, when you are content with your physical conditioning, you stop working out. Hence, I feel that although contentment is good, too much of it would result in the end of improvement.

Out of these three emotions, anger, contentment and jealously, I would eliminate jealously if I could.

Jealously is horrible! It comes in so many different forms and will eat at you. I feel that many of the horrible crimes had been caused by jealously. Jealously is a really terrible thing in this world that has caused much unhappiness. It can lead to murders, divorces, stealing and so many other bad things.

For example, this person is very successful business man. He is extremely wealthy and live in a bungalow. He also has a very beautiful wife. Then, his brother, seeing him prosper, becomes jealous and envies his brother...

In order to beat his brother due to jealously, he took up an affair with his sister in law and found it wasn't enough to outshine him. He began to hate and loath his brother and his jealousy was so overwhelming that he killed him.

In this example, the man stole his brother's wife and killed his brother just because he was jealous of his wealth. So many things can happen because of jealously.

In conclusion, I feel that jealously is the root of many problems and disasters. It has caused much unhappiness and led to many crimes. Hence, given a chance, I would eliminate the emotion jealously from this world.
