    1. Because happiness is not a fundamental human need and never has been. It’s a possible side-effect, never a guaranteed one, of answering three fundamental needs that all humans share: our need for control, our need for connection, our need for consistency. These needs nibble at us constantly. They keep us on the lookout. They fight complacency. Indeed they were hardwired into us by evolution thousands of years ago to ensure we survive and reproduce. They’re still with us today, expressing themselves in relatively new and vastly different ways. This is because ours is a world where ‘survival’ is less a physical challenge for most of us than a psychological one. Evoluton did not expect smartphones. Our needs for control, connection and consistency must be answered simultaneously and sustainably. Once this happens, and it’s a tall order, they set the scene for conditions such as satisfaction, comfort, serenity or happiness, however defined. But should one or more of the needs go unanswered or be threatened for any length of time—and this often happens—it quickly takes precedence, gets in the way of serenity and holds us back. Control over our lives can be lost so quickly. Family problems and colleagues problems can so easily damage our sense of connection. And whose expectations are ever entirely consistent with their expectations? Cue ‘c’est la vie’. But cue unhappiness too.

      The only reason why we all can't be happy is because some of us don't like the feeling. Happiness can sometimes can hide the truth of something dark and toxic. Just by one single person having a smile they can hide something. For explain they could be hiding there happiness or there darkness. They could smile for sadness or for evil. We all can't be happy, we at least need to feel another emotion and sometimes life is so hard that we have trouble being happy that we giving up hope to smile and laugh again. That's why happiness can't be there for everyone cause they need to find the thing that makes them feel happy and at peace. Happiness is for everyone, but not everybody wants it. We all want to feel something different then the same thing over and over again. That's why we have different emotions and have a different way to show them.

    1. Part of the reason we feel pain is because our bodies have tons of nerves that help us move, think, and feel in all kinds of ways. When you stub your paw or toe, for example, the nerves in the skin of your toe will send a message to your brain that you are in pain. These messages are what scientists call impulses.

      The only reason we need to feel pain is so that are body can tell us when we are hurt or when we have to take care of ourselves. Pain might be be stressful and painful to have cause sometimes it can hurt so much that we cry and scream in pain. The pain will never go away, but that's okay because it tells you that you are not dead yet. Pain can tell us what is wrong and who we can't trust and who we can trust. Sometimes when you have a broken heart that it can be so painful that it can kill you, That's why we need pain cause it can tell us who we can trust and who have hurts us many times that don't get a chance again. Life might be painful and hard, but you can get through it and be strong again.

    1. Looks do matter. It may not be politically correct and it's certainly not fair but the undeniable truth, established beyond any doubt by dozens of reputable studies, is that attractive people do better in life. They are better paid, educated, respected, trusted and, surprisingly, smarter than their plain counterparts.

      Well I guess life does depend on looks instead of someones personality. People always look in to someones looks instead of the way they act or how they treat others. If life didn't expect in looks are life will probably would be better and nobody would get bullied for the way that they look. Some people say that if you are pretty enough or handsome enough, but they are wrong if you work hard enough and take time to study you will get somewhere in life and can become very successful. So we shouldn't depend on looks and more in the personality.

    1. Some researchers believe crying is a way your body gets rid of stress-related hormones. Other studies show tears may trigger the release of endorphins. Endorphins are hormones that make you feel good and reduce pain. A recent focus of research is the response people have to the chemical content of tears.

      For some people they think that crying is a sign of weakness and for others it's a way to show emotions of something happening. Some people cry because of something sad and bad that happen. They also cry for being full of joy of happiness of something amazing that happen. Most of the time we cry form so much stress and problems that are happening is in are life. We can cry for the hard life that we have and the pain that we get. That's why we always cry cause they can help us feel relieved and at ease.

    1. Emotions describe physiological states and are generated subconsciously. Usually, they are autonomous bodily responses to certain external or internal events. By contrast, feelings are subjective experiences of emotions and are driven by conscious thoughts and reflections. This means that we can have emotions without having feelings, however, we simply cannot have feelings without having emotions.

      The only reason why we have emotions is so we can feel the things around us. Are emotions make us feel and see life in a different way. Having emotions makes us feel alive and let's us see things that others can't. Are emotions show who we are, if we don't have emotions life will be empty and dark nothing would have life and we all be emotionless and dark.That's why we need emotions to feel, taste, smell, sees, and touch, because it makes us feel alive and show us that we are still not dead. The life that we have might not be great, but we can make it amazing by making a change and by helping each other instead of fighting. We all have to at least try to make this place great again, and by feeling are hearts can tell us the good and the bad. We have a heart to help and be kind that's why we need are emotions, so we can be happy and be proud of someone. If you wan't your emotions to be gone then that will be the biggest mistake of your life, because you won't feel anything and you will others that love and care about you suffer. It's best to have emotions so it can tell us that we are alive and that we have a chance to change something and make it great again.
