I realize that its all about the perspective of life and if you get to know the truth it shall set you free...

(John 15:18-21) “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
It's not always about what others do though either. Sometimes, emotions just arise for no reason at all...and confuse both me n anyone who happens to be around me. I believe fully on to the Lord, that is not really my question, but sometimes just as a child asks it's mother why she put frosting on the cake instead of just eating it.... I have questions I would like to ask as well. Things I don't understand, and I don't think God would find it horrible of me to do so as long as I come from a good place in my heart.

This biblical talk here is just between you n I since you brought up scripture to me.

I also am of the belief that before original sin, either we had no emotion, all emotions were similar, or we did not fully understand the significance of them, for many reasons. First, we were created in the image of God ... and, Adam walked with God, but God strove to keep our intellect lower than his own, which is why we were forbidden from eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. This says to me, we must have had either an emotional iq equal or similar to God or been completely innocent and naieve and therefore of interest for God to spend time with "teaching". Second, once Adam and Eve bit the fruit of knowledge, they suddenly "learned" to be ashamed of their nakedness n covered themselves in the sight of God. So..this says to me, perhaps we weren't created originally with the intense emotions we have now, but our knowledge has caused us to develop these emotions - both good and bad, and that's why we don't always know what to do with them, because we were never designed to have them.

Anyway... Just my two cents on the biblical take.
