Do you think someone can have good morals without having emotions?

10 Comments

I ask for your opinions on this because I think I have good morals, yet I am not an emotional person.
I do have emotions, but they seem to be different from what most people describe.
I make moral decisions because it is simply logical to do.
I wouldn't want to do things to fuck up the world I live in and want to make it as good of a place as I can.
I don't get why anyone would want to cause unnecessary problems in their own home, and this world is my home so logically I want to make it the best as possible.

    That sounds reasonable... I think morals come from a more logical place than emotion.

      Yes, like the motivation to survive in a peaceful environment.

    Yes. Morals come from many different things religion, society, parents, etc. A lot of our morals, whether we realize it or not, were taught to us or passed down.

    Morals are best without emotion.

    It's more likely for an emotional person to act impulsively on their own feelings, so of course it's only logical for someone who lacks intense emotion to be moral. You can think about what's good for everyone more clearly.

    I value logic above emotions. Most intelligent people do.

    I'd say there's an argument that a lack of emotion would make truly moral actions much easier.

    they want to make the world "as good of a place" they can... For who? If only for themselves- since they have no emotions/empathy- couldn't they still do "bad" things to benefit themselves..?

    Ya, as long as there is at least some emotion there. Otherwise..you know, when someone gets angry they would just snap a persons neck with no inhibitions.

      Anger is an emotion.
