Anger is the fight in flight or fight,
Sadness simply reminds of what is right,
Love rewards us and tells our purpose bold,
Empathy encourages, each has a story told.

Emotions are the most important thing,
Does not matter if born a peasant or a king.
We feel before act, moved deeply by the fact,
That emotions are the key to life's abstract.
I think 200,000 years ago we reacted emotionally with much more intensity. Threats were real, your life could be lost in an instant with a predator or an adversary. We still have those very strong reactions which are built in to our survival design. But now we react with a road rage or an insult the way we used to react to a bear about to **** us. Emotions are  fascinating. hh
