What good does anger do anyone? Sadness is what makes us human.
Isabelle
People could take advantage of you if you never got angry. Sadness is useless anyway
David Bell
no anger = no motivation for revenge
SaintMagnus
@Isabella, do people take advantage of monks? Because most of them (especially Buddhist monks) live without anger. In fact, they are taught to care for every living being. Anger tears people slowly apart.
AkshaySauce
I'm a pretty chill guy so I almost never get angry anyway, and I'm very emotionally detached, so neither are relevant to me.
sogeking
If you have no sadness, then you appear to be a heartless freak and people won't want to be close to you. Also a lot of people would not consider revenge a good thing you idiot and without anger there would be no desire for such a useless, destructive act.

NO, BEING HUMAN MAKES US HUMAN. EMOTIONS JUST COME WITH THE PACKAGE.

"Sadness is what makes us human" Firstly that's a completely arbitrary opinion secondly animals have been shown to have emotions such as sadness, remorse etc it's not exclusively HUMAN.
Robert Chu
humans are fuckin horrible things. They constantly lie to themselves by putting themselves on a peddistole and lie to the world acting like they care and denying facts like we are animals who must eat plants and animals.
lololol
when someone dies or something and you cant experience sadness people think you are the most horrible person on earth
Niker107
I think these are both bad, but Anger annoys people, and if you're sad, someone can cheer you up.
max
Living without anger would be great. You would forgive and forget and it would be hard to make enemies. It doesn't mean people can take advantage of you, you still would have wit.

Take advantage of you? Without anger you can keep your head on straight and always make a more logical choice. You could talk circles around a people and never lose your cool.
PaperlessPaper
@absentbird if you never get angry, people can take advantage of you.
Fus-Ro-Dah
@Paperlesspaper: How does not being angry allow people to take advantage of you? Really, I'm curious. Is it because people are unable to goad you into a fight with insults, or is it something else?
Mayonnaise
A nice comeback would do the trick
BlueDragon
@David Bell revenge is bad
ginny weasly
sadness can make you depressed, which leads to cutting, death wishes, and low selfesteem. my friend has depression and i try to help her, but she refuses to be helped.

think of it this way if someone kills your significant other: Red: cries alot and killer bursts out in laughter at your lamentations Blue: pulls out a gun or knife and ambushes him and kills him

I think anger can be useful if you're going to fight someone, and anger can give you courage. But rarely useful in our society though.

You can still count as human even without sadness. All you really need is an understanding of certain concepts to function well. Sadness is far worse than anger, anyway. Getting rid of it makes you a stronger person overall.

isabelle: if you didn't have sadness you wouldn't be human. You wouldn't care if your parents died. David bell: revenge is a terrible thing.
Ken Amagna
"makes us truly human"... so, sadness caused wars? wars are humane... Elephants show sadness... so are Elephants humans? Anger may not be a positive emotion, but its what makes us humans alive... sentimentality doesn't have to do with Human survival... its the anger and strive for survival... Sadness is just a thought that involves respect or so... no survival involved... if Anger is to be removed, Cavemen cant survive, thus no humans... but if Anger is to be removed right this exact moment, not when cavemen are alive, to be honest, id rather had Anger actually removed
Ken Amagna
any objections?
Mr,Doctor,Patrick
its kinda Visaversa
PebblePanda
not being angry doesn't mean you are naive or cannot be uncontent. It just means you keep calm. If anyone has seen Inside Out, you know that sadness is necessary, but anger ? You can't think properly when you're angry.

since i already dont experience sadness why should i lose anger? I mean i need atleast one non-positive emotion and anger is much better than sadness- it makes men us who we are, without it we would look weak,too calm and depressed cause since you picked unable to experience anger you will still experience depressing sadness
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It would be easier for people to take advantage of you if you were never truly upset about anything.

@Dylan I'd rather be angry about that than said. Vengeance!

No, you wouldn't shout at whomever wrongs you, you'd just be like "Bitch please!" and smack them silly, laughing at them because you aren't angry. You won't be angry, but you could still tell when something bad happens.

It doesn't say you can't be upset. You just won't be angry.

Annygron8
I never get mad. I never acted angry at anyone in my life (I mean it lol). And people respect me way more because of it. I'm not a dramaqueen, if someone does something really bad, I can either fix it (them) or not, either way, being angry doesn't do anythig. If someone does something shitty to me I deal with them like a grown up, and feel really bad for them in the process usually, because they are doing bad to themselves more than me. Never lost my shit to anyone til now, and doubt I ever will.
Poptart_Wizard
Anger leads to the dark side of the force :3
yoda
to the darkside anger brings
canipbanana
actually, anger is easily controlled y others as it is an emotion of response, and people are driven by emotions, thus controlling emotion is a good way to control people. sadness on the other hand is a useful tool for learning, and it also helps to not make people subconsciously uneasy due to your apparent lack of empathy that would be displayed whenever something sad happens. also, I've had far more of my things break out of anger rather than sadness
Ken Amagna
Anger is also a learning experience... Anger shapes us on who we are, when faced with challenges or not... Anger is the one that the person needs to control during challenges... not necessarily using anger to avoid it... Sadness? well, if you broke into tears when facing a challenge basically means game over... when you get aggravated during a challenge, it means, you will try harder and strive for the best... Life is a challenge itself... some challenges involves sadness, but during those sad challenges, Anger fills us with Determination... (geddit?)

@SaintMagnus whoever said u couldn't be peaceful? what if u don't feel sadness at all and anger is just rare?

@advance, you give me hope that i can one that see my past again. thank u.

anger kills slowly with terrifying and relentless pain. sadness kills slowly and does the same. which do u choose? silence or screaming? that is your choice. which one do you think u can withstand for longer? which one are u stronger against? which one can u survive the longest without causing anyone else pain? that is your test. that is your burden. these are your flames.

overtherainbow
Without sadness, you pretty much can't experience happiness. Without anger/stress, you can't experience being very relaxed, or having no feelings of tense-ness. I would go with no anger and no feelings of great relaxation. I have had a lot of sadness in my life, and I think its shaped me as a person. Having a lot of anger, or being angry very often, simply makes you someone bitter and upset often. If you can't experience sadness, this seems like you couldn't experience guilt. Therefore you would never regret your anger, which would mean you would probably get very angry at people very often. People wouldn't like being around you.
Roderius
wow that was ... bullshit
Utah G
to be angry is to be human

Even without sadness, you can have happiness and even BETTER happiness if you really do even need bad things to experience happiness in the first place. I don't think I need I need bad events in my life to heavily enjoy a Saturday morning.
Idiot #17
I regret a lot of things and i'm not sad.
lol-ipop
What about caring for people? People would just think you're a jerk. You could never relate to anyone. So just think about it, you could also take advantage of it by not being pissed off or anything.
lol-ipop
Yeah. Happiness is based on sadness. Anger may be sorta stronger, but sadness has more potentional
Lew
i actually know a lot of people like that who dont feel sad, they`re either jerks and that makes them hilarious to be around or very chill

Sadness= people feel sorry for you. Anger= people think your a jerk or you did something fucked up. Sadness passes. Anger makes you do thinks you regret, which lasts forever in your memories. Unless you have that decease where you forget things.
Lord English
If you can't be sad, you wouldn't regret, silly.
Dudugs
sadness sucks for YOU
Idiot #17
@deadcraze bullcrap. I can be mad and people be sorry. Being sad can make people suspicious on what you're sad about and find out it's a murder or something.
lol-ipop
You would rage at it and be distracted.
lol-ipop
If you cant regret, you basically can never learn from your mistakes. Sadness is what we experience to learn from our mistakes. Thats what makes the most part of life.
who knows?

Why would anyone want sadness? It cripples people. Anger makes me stronger and more productive. If i didn't have anger I wouldn't be a man. I would be a passive bitch to anyone I met. Someone would grop my girlfriend, daughter, or wife (when I get one) and all that I'd be able to do is cry like a little pussy when it gappens. Fuck. That. I'd rather cut my balls off

Sadness isn't useless, and anger gets in the way. You can still be a dick to people who are being dicks to you but still not get angry about it.

well, you will also look like a pussy when you are not being a dick about it

If you cant be sad, you wouldnt really be able to appreciate the good things in life because you had nothing to compare happy moments to. And without being would make us seem like heartless freaks. As depressed as i am at getting dumped a few hours ago, i still think being sad is a good thing
np11
overtherainbow you got a nice essay there.A+
youat2inthemorning
If there was no anger, you wouldn't say things on a whim, and you wouldn't make people feel bad, and they wouldn't be sad.
Ken Amagna
err, its up to you if you want to be vulgar to people... but not feeling sad but instead being angry about it means that you are strong in spirit... never to give up in life, even if its hard... (just like Sans' battle)
lol-ipop
But its sadness that keeps us going.
lol-ipop
Sadness is also the most part of motivation for happiness. If you're angry, you wouldn't be able to relate to anything. It's life, it isn't perfect.
lol-ipop
Plus, if you're only strong being mad, that would only be for revenge. If its sadness, it would be for something special.

If your parents died and you wouldnt be sad?
Ken Amagna
well, You can be angry that they died... that is more of a good way to say that "even if they are gone, i won't forget them and i will live on"... if you cried you basically say "no no no I give up... they're gone, so im gone as well..."
lol-ipop
Actually, if you are angry, it wouldn't be peacful. Death is about resting forever. It's not super depression. If your mad, its basically being pissed alot. Sadness is a motivation if you love someone. Even if they died. It would be better if you could carry their spirit with you. If you were mad, think about how would they feel, they would probably be depressed if their child got pissed. ''Sorry I couldn't always be here''
