Would you rather feel one emotion for the rest of your life or no emotion at all?

No happy??? I will take joyful then. ;)

Horny :-p

Yep. I’ll go with perpetual delightedness ; thanks.

All you need is love.

it seems the majority would want one emotion only if we could choose which one! If I had to choose between sadness or no emotion, I’d rather feel nothing.

I’d take…. Excited.

I would choose contentedness.

@marinelife I’m torn between this and lucilles’ joyfulness. Tough one

This post is the first modern example of a double-post on Fluther.

All positive emotions are an ingredient of happiness.
Happiness is the ultimate human emotional experience.
What good is such a choice if happy is off the table?
Too grim a prospect by my thinking. I don’t like the premise.
Not really an answer, I guess, but I had to make the statement.

Thoughtful, because if I were to choose something like joyful, then I might occasionally look silly around others… Well, actually, you wouldn’t, because you could only feel joyful about being joyful. Holy crap this is a stupid question. ~ And why didn’t I just make this the first answer?? Right now I feel “funny.”

I agree with @marinelife, even before I saw her answer! I cherish any times I feel contented.

self-confidence. I try for this, unfortunately I stick my foot in my mouth, or screw up sometimes to bring me back down to earth.

I’m going to go with Joy’s….. I mean @lucillelucillelucille‘s excellent suggestion. Joy Joy :¬)

Scratch my previous answer. I’d want careful, not excited.

don’t you think always feeling content would be almost the same thing as having no emotion?
