how does being ina collective society destroy emotions?

it doesn't, it just makes them less selfish and self-serving. They must be tempered for the good of all. I guess there are pros and cons to this but I think the west could benefit a lot from thinking of others feelings before their own.

Try not to let others effect that emotion, and except that people are mostly selfish, and mean, and into themselves.\n\nThis is a sad truth we all must accept, because to a certain extent, we all that way.

Like the old saying goes...\n\n"Misery loves company" and some people hate that others can be happy and have earned that happiness.  Someone who is happy within themselves will not take gratification in anothers pain.

Haters are torturing themselves with emotions that kills them ultimately. What little good it may do to others out weighs the harm it inflicts on the hater. Keeps a frown on face and wrinkles appears on the one who hates not the person who is being hated.

Growing up is simply taking responsibility, some do at earlier ages than others.  Society is many humans interacting together, since this interaction can take many forms there are many different kinds of society.  Society exists automatically if two or more people interact.  The best thing is if society works for the common good, the worst is if it victimizes certain members of the society.  The best thing about school is the opportunity to be educated, the worst thing is having to deal with those at school who do not wish to be educated and disrupt the process.  The best thing about peers is positive interaction, the worst is negative interaction, same with friends.  Family is protective and supportive, that is best, opposite of that is worst.  Best thing is to be successful and help others be successful, worst is damage to reputation.

Since we each create our own reality, we are only better off in a collective reality as it matches our own desires/energy levels.  If everyone were capable of generating the positive, higher-level energies of peace, love, cooperation and respect, there wouldn't be the dearth of those qualities in society as to prompt your question.  As we change our personal desires to higher levels, we ultimately change our society by acting on the higher concepts and influencing the energies of others.  Water seeks its own level, and the same is true of energy.  Marianne Williamson said it best,  "as we allow our own light to shine, we unconcsiously give others permission to do the same."

It's called moral decay...and you are right...it's what happens to all societies when they shift from survival to rich and decadent

There are two ways "society" trys to control its own behaviour in order to prevent utter chaos; The first is by imposing a legal code, or a set of laws that "everyone" has agreed are things you should be punished for doing, like killing other people or stealing stuff.  The other set of rules is the more arbitrary one of a "moral code".  It is within this second set of unenforced (and generally unenforceable) rules that definitions of what is and isn't cursing develop.  Regardless of what anyone tries to tell you, morality is entirely a cultural construct.  There is nothing but opinion that makes one word bad and another acceptable.  You can say "fudge you!" or "f*ck you!" will equal vehemence and mean exactly the same thing, but one will get you kicked out of WalMart.\n\nIt does not really make any sense, but if you want to get ahead in this world, the easiest way to do it is to go along with the morality of whatever society you happen by birth to be a part of.  These "rules" and acceptable behaviours serve as a model of behaviour that is supposed to make everyone less "uncomfortable", so you are right, "curse" words is a completely made-up notion.\n\nOn the subject of what is acceptable to some societies but not to others, you might enjoy this one VERY strange example:\n\nhttp://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art38424.asp\n\nTry putting THAT in a nativity scene in the US!

some teens seclude themselves, others will become violent or rebel, and others will just put themselves into some kind of activity to forget about their troubles like a sport, hobby or schoolwork. I'm sure there are other reactions, but these are three of the most common and broad reactions that i have seen.

Its ok, some people are just not happy unless they are causing grief on other people. Dont take it personally there are a lot of very unhappy people in this earth. Just look past it and remember that no one can change how your feel about yourself except you.

Its okay to get angry coz its normal. It has nothing to do with religion . Humans have feelings. Unless, if a person belong to a cult and like a robot...following what is good for their cults. Every religion should not dictate what their members should feel. It should be that way. Mis interpreted maybe because of the leaders say. Express what you feel but, be responsible with your actions. Just remember the golden rule, DO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO UNTO YOU..... God bless.

its quite simple, as long there is humans. They will be wars. The world must balance itself in hate and love. If we do not have hate, we do not have love. If we do not have love, we do not have hate. The world and mankind must balance itself. If one side of the balances is tipped too much, it will be chaos.

we actually cry as much at sad endings; as happy 1's------Its an overwhelming emotion-empathy--you cant help it--you feel like your the one in the situation.It overcomes your emotions and you let loose. Passes a hanky

Brilliant question. I believe it is the cultural layering we get as we are socialized into our various "clans" (religions, class structures, value systems, etc etc). This formative experience shapes us, molds us away from being truly empathic and into being more regimented and con-formative.

Hatred is required for mankind to survive.  It is used to make sure that we will fight for our resources.  As with all our survival instincts it sometimes doesn't work well in "civilized" society but it's there and it's not going to go away any time soon.

you cant really have anything. Without society individuals cannot really make it out for very long. Theres the old study about orphanages and the amount of contact children recieved and how it affected their development. If we didnt group ourselves in societies we couldnt exist in any where near the same manner we do now. Its a trait of most living organisms to desire to be in communities in some way shape or form.\n\nWithout culutre we revert to a more feral state. Since language comes from culture we could not communicate with words without it. Even non verbal communication makes up some form of culture. There are also many different theories that language is essential to any thought and without it the human mind cant develop. So if we never had societies or culture we wouldnt have very much.

A number of things: in some people, seeing other people do things make them react in the same way such as throwing up. Some peole are very emotional. Some are very considerate for their loved ones and do not like seeing them in despair. Some do it for attention. Some are just dramatic. Depends on a lot of things
