it would be a bad idea to use such a device. because i believe in universal balance, you can't have light with out dark or good without evil etc... in the same way you can't really feel good if you didn't at one point feel bad. Overcoming negative feelings and moving on is what leads to true happiness. If the negativity was never there to begin with then you would never find real happiness

Nah man, I wouldnt use something fucked up like that. Going through pain is part of life. I want to live life. If I dont go through pain I dont see whats the point of saying im living life. Something like that is practically pointless. Pain cna give you new experiences and youll understand from what youve taken on from that pain. So I say, that machine is useless, something worth throwing in the trash. But something usefull for the desperate and weak willed.

use it! but only for the feelings part
I'll keep the pain as a reminder of my mistakes (or stupidity), and get rid of feelings to make more rational and logical decisions
that way I could avoid getting hurt and hurt others at the same time
mhmhmhmhm!

even with the machine, i would think of things to think about negatively.
our brain reacts stronger to negative than positive; because it teaches us how to avoid it.
sounds too good to be true man.

This kind of reminds me of the movie called Equilibrium, but they take away feelings/love/emotion instead. People just live like mindless zombies. Pain and suffering is needed to help us grow stronger. Life would be insanely dull without some pain and suffering.

Brave New World and 1984 yay. Anyways if you use the device you lose any reason to do better or improve upon yourself and as such you lack qualities of a human being. If you do use the device you become a person who would not ever retaliate which contributes to a more peaceful society. Wait a second does guilt count as a negative emotion? Because if so then there will be a huge explanation as to why not using the machine would be the SUPREMELY better option for humankind.

Pain is a _good_ thing. Pain tells you to not stick your hand in the fire. Pain told our ancestors you that it isnt preferable to be eaten by that sabre tooth tiger. Hunger is pain. Pain, in short, is nature's way of telling you to stop doing something or do something about the current situation. Yes, its unpleasant. That's the _point_.
I agree with this. Although I would add that pain is what makes the good things look good. If we didn't have pain how would we know what happiness is and how would we appreciate it?

No, because pain and suffering is just a part of sensation/emotion. If you get rid of those, then you get rid of the sensations/emotions that bring you joy as well.
