Exploring the Utility of Anxiety and Negative Emotions

Anxiety can serve a purpose by alerting us to potential threats and prompting us to pay attention. It can enhance performance, as demonstrated when experiencing butterflies before public speaking. Negative emotions like anxiety, sadness, and envy can be beneficial as they are painful, prompting quick responses to alleviate them. Constantly eliminating negative emotions using inner voice may lead to avoiding them altogether, which is not ideal for personal growth and human experience. Understanding and utilizing inner voice as a tool can be challenging due to the necessity of negative emotions for personal development.
