It has always astounded me how society teaches us that emotions are important because they mean x,y and z. But at the same time society also teaches us that emotions are NOT important and we should all just be strong and ignore them and do what's right in every situation, because they mean nothing. Society gives us all these tools to use, in order to shrug off the emotions and ignore them, so that we can be the most effective and efficient in life. But then when people use these tools effectively (as they were taught for the first 18+ years of their life), suddenly they are wrong again because "emotions ARE important and its bad to suppress or avoid them".

So society needs to make a decision - are feelings important, or are they not? or only slighly important? and if they are of any importance at all, society needs to STOP raising children to be able to get rid of emotions in the first place. Its like society is raising kids these days to have emotional problems, in order to fix them later on. Seems a bit redundant to me. And a HUGE waste of government money. Instead of propagating a problem and then having to go and fix that problem for decades... it would be a lot cheaper to just NOT raise kids to have a problem in the first place.

Its a bit like raising kids to eat lots of fatty food every day and then complaining about having to pay medical bills for all their heart surgery they need later on. Like duh!
