Text b. Importance of emotions

Nature developed our emotions over millions of years of evolution. As a result, our emotions have the potential to serve us today as a delicate internal guidance system.

Our emotions are a valuable source of information. Our emotions help us make decisions. When we feel uncomfortable with a person’s behavior our emotions alert us. Our emotions help us communicate with others. Our facial expressions , for example, can convey a wide range of emotions.

Emotions are the greatest potential source of uniting all members of he human species. Clearly, our different religious, cultural and political beliefs have not united us. In fact they have tragically and even fatally divided us. Emotions, on the other hand, are universal. Charles Darwin wrote in one of his books called “The Expression of Emotion in Man and Animal” that beliefs divide us, emotions unite us.
