Reason Comes From Emotion?

The article by Dr. Richard van de Lagemaat was about how emotions provide us with a reason for doing everything we do. Emotions give us goals, give us directions and priorities. He said that those who do not have emotions are those who are completely indifferent. Without emotions we would have no reason to live or die. No reason to learn or think. We do not want. He believes that those we consider without emotion, completely rational beings with logical thinking, are simply those in control of their emotions. This poses an interesting question. Is emotion the motivation or reason to do everything we do? I guess in some way, what we do, even our most primal instincts, are based on things that feel good. Eating feels good, drinking feels good, being healthy feels good, etc. While being sick feels bad, thirsty feels bad, hungry feels bad... So in someway, our emotions are directing our way of thinking to believe that what we do is important if it feels good. If it feels good, it is necessary for our bodies. There are a few exceptions of course, but that is mostly because our instincts have not developed to the same capacity and the range of substances and things we have become adapted to. We (in primal times) were unable to really take good things in excess. Now that we have access to the things that we enjoy, we sometimes take things too far and that leads to things being bad for us. But if we were a the more prehistoric lifestyles, we would not have such access and would not be to an access. I personally agree that emotions are important to life, and that if we control some of our more wayward and unnecessary emotions in order to not do things we do not want to do or think completely irrationally because we want to do something, then that is the best form of emotions. I also think that emotions are INCREDIBLY difficult to control, and if you take the effort and have the ability to control such complex emotions to think about things rationally before acting, that is the perfect balance and you should be commended for your efforts.
