love--if that is first, then everything else will naturally fall into place.

The most important emotion is the one directly associated to what is happening now.

Dont they say that white is the color which actually contains all colors? And black is the absense of all color? Well - I would say that love is the most important emotion, and it can only be attained by the totality of combining all emotions together with a sort of peaceful acceptance of them all. Love is white. Maybe that is why people who die see a bright white light?

I actually enjoy sadness more than happiness. I learn more from sadness than I do from happiness and I feel that I have more of a connection to people and things that have dark characteristics. I've realized that I haven't learned much from happiness. Happiness is everyones' goal right? Well I think that experiencing sadness and overcoming that is a journey that leads us to that goal.

I've felt a lot of sadness lately, but not the normal kind. Not the kind that something intrinsically around me made me sad like my dog died or I'm lonely. While I am alone more, I've counted it as blessing. It's been things like the fall of things in people's lives, the things they could have if they tried for it, for the earth and the things we've been doing to it. But you know, it hasn't been a bad thing. I've felt feelings most akin to sadness and loneliness, but I've found satisfaction in them. I've grown in it, I've, oddly, been able to enjoy being sad, or melancholic. It's served more meaning than being happy, and showed me more good. It's always awkward to communicate to people though, because we live in a world where happiness or 'okay' is the only norm emotion. Anything else needs to be fixed some way, or assuaged at least. I wish I could tell people, when they ask me how I'm doing,that if I'm sad, I'm sad, but I wouldn't change it for the world. To find solace in loneliness seems to me a lot better than finding grief in it. That said, I feel like melancholy is extremely under rated emotion.

I like what @calholli said... there is a reason for every emotion. Even thought thinking a bit more, the most important emotion to me, is the one I am felling right now, every moment

every emotion has truth to be acknowledged... and of equal importance... from the intense to the lack there of..... the experience will always give you reason for its presence.. whether you see it or not, the purpose is there
