To feel or not to feel

Emotions, according to me, should be locked up in a bottle. They should never be let out. If it is let out, all hell breaks loose. What I meant to say by this statement is that a human mind can go though so many different emotions at the same time. I guess one emotion leads to another and then another and the cycle continues.

Take a relationship for example. Most relationships start out with friendship, where you feel a sense of trust, sharing, a bonding with the other person. Then you may start feeling attracted to the person. Then maybe you start loving him/her. And you think that it is the end of it, coz then life will be happy ever after. But no. With love comes expectations. You expect the other person to do certain things or do things in a certain manner. You expect him/her to love you the way you do, think the same way you do or do the things you want them to do. This leads to fights, displeasure, arguments which may lead to a break up, pain, hatred and later indifference. Well it necessarily doesnt have to end that way but then what I am saying is that one emotion/feeling leads to another. It keeps going on, never ending.

But I think this is one characteristic which distinguishes us from all other living beings. And I am writing this post because some emotion has triggered me to come up with the thought that humans should be spared of any emotions possible.
