well your example is a serious one indeed but then this again can be
explained by instinct and logic rather than emotion. it is obvous that
i have to pass on my genes so i will 'not' let my child die, i will not
have time to feel emotions then because saving my child is instinct
which i believe is not connected with emotions as it is given a higher
privilege.
all the other examples i am afraid will not be sufficient to prove
emotional handiwork. all these can be explained by logic or instinct
too. i firmly believe emotions are not results of instinctive
behaviour. And these are basic things what about nervousness, pain,
hurt ? what about jealousy especially in circumstances where we cannot
do anything ?
