answer:Interesting thought. I see emotions as encompassing the entire spectrum, happy, joyful, as well as the unhappy ones, sadness, anger. Maybe it is because many people get stuck in the negative emotions and therefore the labeling has become more associated with the less than positive side. It’s easier to observe those stuck in unhealthy degrees of emotional response than the opposite. Emotions are healthy and natural as long as they ( especially the negative ones) don’t run your life. A healthy balance between emotional and rational, logical, approaches to life and relating is, obviously, optimum.
