Why do humans have feelings & emotion ?

Is there a way of eliminating feelings & emotion in order for not getting hurt. (eg. broken heart, the loss of someone you love, depression, etc...) I know that we are not robots, but if there's a way, perhaps it will help a lot for those who are suicidal.

Answer:
There is no way of eliminated emotion because it is a process of the soul. The only way to eliminate emotion is by eliminating attachment. For instance, when you were a child you were sad about missing cartoons, now you don't care about cartoons at all and feel no emotion towards them.
Read the Bhagavad Gita "as it is". It will give you inspiration and put things into perspective.
practice of meditation helps a lot
study buddhism and tibetan medicine that explane about emotions and feelings as well as mind and body are related
No pain no gain. how would u know joy when u never experience sorrow? I've thought about it since I have been suffereing from severe depression for years and years. Perhaps our pain is a reminder that we live in broken world, and we need each other's help. If we only live on the bright side of life, probably we won't learn to appreciate the great things we have. But because of pain, we learn to appreciate things better. There are lots of help for depression people nowadays. We are pretty fortunate to live in this era, and I can only hope that the help will keep getting better.
omg. i never thought of that. i have no idea. i googled it and it didn't give me an answer. i hope u find out!! =] BYE!!
You have to take the good with the bad. Without feelings or emotions you would not know happiness or love. What an empty life that would be. The rollercoaster of emotions that make humans unique are what make life interesting.
No, there is no way to eliminate emotion. Science still disagrees with the idea that emotion is necessary to rational thinking, but new ground is being trod in studying this concept. We need to keep in mind that the human body is quite efficient, and if emotion were "useless" to us, we would have eliminated it in favor of survival. You might want to read Antonio Damasio's book Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain. In it Damasio discusses his studies about the purpose emotion has in our thinking processes. It is a rather tough read, and the concepts Damasio discusses are quite complicated, so I will not elaborate on the discussion here, other than to say that if reason, which cannot really truly be "touched" ( that is, it is intangible), is considered "legitimate science" to study, then emotion (which is also intangible and for the most part unmeasurable) must too be included, as it is biologically inseparable from reason.

It is not emotion itself that causes suicidal ideation, pain or suffering. It is the human thinking process, how one "interprets" their thinking, that causes these problems. It is the attitude one carries that informs the interpretation of the thinking. Changes in thinking processes can and do relieve problems like suicidal ideation. There is such a thing as emotional intelligence, a concept that as separate from the idea of the academic intelligence quotient (IQ). You might also consider reading Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ, and also his book Working with Emotional Intelligence for information on this concept.
