Do you think there would be anything of value going on if no one had the ability to feel? Do you think that escaping from danger without feeling anything isn't fundamentally different from being filled with fear during it? What would good and bad even mean if they weren't inextricably tied to pain and pleasure? If feelings didn't and couldn't exist, everything would truly be meaningless. It wouldn't matter at all what you choose to do or what is happening in the world.
