Anger

Stacy brought up the question in class asking if people are more likely to be angry rather than every other emotion. My view is that most situations require a little bit of anger. In almost any situation I am in I see that I have used a little anger in my tone or in my thoughts. This is because anger is the first emotion that we learn. Most babies scream because they are not getting their way or what they want which shows how angry they are.

There are many other emotions people have in use. Another really common one is empathy this is because this allows us to relate to others and make sustainable relationships. This is because if people can relate to one another they are more likely to actually talk about things that matter rather than have pointless one word conversations.

Response to Emily

In Emily's blog she talks about a conversation that arose in class about how animal form packs to survive. This is also true for humans because every human needs to be with people or else they do not adapt right in to society and cannot function. People also flock together in times of hardship. This is because a lot of people experience a lot of the same things to different degrees. It also helps that people listen and show some sort of empathy even if they do not want to it is human nature. Humans even in the early ages have always hunted and stayed together because it was the easiest way to survive.  What sets us apart from animals now though because they flock together and so do we?

Every theory of human nature tries to explain the meaning of life. and if it were that easy everyone would be able to figure out the meaning of life. But this is also saying that there is only one "meaning of life". Which also does not make much sense. This is because my meaning of life could be different than everyone else in the worlds because no two people are the same. Which would mean that any theory to the meaning of life is not universal. Which would mean everyone lives the exact same lives.
