Emotions are not good things and bad things. Positive and negative emotions are simply information about the outside world. You need your negative emotions because in the Pleistocene you’d be hunted down by a saber tooth tiger. And today without your negative emotions, you’d get run over by a car.
You need negative emotions. And that means you can’t be happy. What you can be with proper information, by changing your life and sharing it with others, you can be, you can be happier.
