Emotions:

Randolph M. Nesse:

"emotions are either positive or negative because only situations with threats or opportunities influence fitness."

-----

"Opportunity arouses enthusiasm. Success arouses joy. Threat arouses anxiety. Loss arouses sadness."

-----

"Emotions have meaning. We should try to understand their messages. They are usually trying to get us to do or stop doing something."

-----

"Instead of assuming that positive emotion is good and negative emotion is bad, experts with an evolutionary perspective can analyze the appropriateness of an emotion for the situation."
