Emotions are the root of all evil

Some people, especially when I was younger, used to equate me with a zombie. I have many people say that I have somewhat of an expressional less or emotional less face.

I have emotion, but, I have had so much happen in my life, that I have learned to not let it show much.

Emotions are the language of Instinct. The seven deadly Sins are in fact Instincts, gone awry. So it's somewhat astute to say that emotions are the root of all evil, but fallacious as well. Given it's not the feeling it's what's done with feelings that gives rise to destructive and self immolating necromancy. Or ***SIN***, as the billboards have it.

I just want to say

I hate you, I love you, I fear you, I am calmed by you.

Sorry that was my evil twin brother who was bipolar.

The root of all evil is the Lack of emotion - How many evil deads have been acomplished by cold blooded, machines who felt nothing.
Yes bad things have happened because people were "angry", "sad". But great things have happened because of how they felt too.

I suspect very few. It is easy for an outsider to say that a person is "cold" or "emotional less;" however, only the person in question can actually answer whether he or she was emotional less.

No, most murderers and such gain pleasure from their deeds. That is not indicative of what you describe. That is actually indicative of someone who is very emotional.
