Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[bennyboy]

Let me apologize.  I still wouldn't define anything about feelings as intrinsically good or bad, but the way I said it was unnecessarily rude.

Well what you said was that I didn't know what intrisic meant but I obviously do lol.

I don't think emotions is intrinsically good or bad either. But suffering is intrinsically bad.

No, it's really not. Without the capacity to suffer, we'd be gone in about two generations. We'd be walking on glass, sticking our hands in fire, and throwing babies out the window to see if they could fly.

Suffering means things are going badly FOR you, but the capacity to feel when things are going badly is most certainly good.

You could, I guess, say that for most people, suffering is an intrinsically bad feeling, with "bad" being defined as subjectively negative. But to say that suffering is intrinsically bad in a global sense just isn't how words work.
