Emotions are a very strange thing to define. While there are great positive emotions like love, friendship, sympathy, empathy etc., there are also a lot of hugely negative connotations of the same emotions- jealousy, hatred, apathy, wars, racism, casteism etc.
So, hypothetically, if you're given a choice, to either live in a world of emotions, i.e. the world as it is today, OR to live in a world where the only thought is rational thought, where there is no room for emotions-either positive or negative. What would you choose? (Do realize that, impulsively, anyone is bound to make a pro-emotions choice. But do think a little bit about this topic.)
Hoping for the views of a few readers.
On a side note, why do all dystopian movies with a 'good' ending, end on an anarchic note?
I mean, is anarchy really better than forced order?
