Sometimes it would be nice to be able to turn off negative emotions. Even a dimmer switch. Some of us feel the negative emotions much more intensely than is useful. But, another thing to consider is that those emotions do serve a purpose. For one thing, if we were not feeling negative emotions, then what would motivate us to change? You could lose your job, switch off the negative emotions, and then not care about looking for a new one, and not even care if you ran out of money, got turned out on the street, and had no food to eat, and maybe you would do nothing about it. The other thing is that how would we know what it is to feel good if we didn't feel the bad stuff? You have to know bitter in order to appreciate sweet.
