The order have come to understand that having emotions is something that makes no sense for the sake of their progress. They do experience emotions, but they don’t experience human emotions. What they experience is a completely different set of feelings that are incomprehensible for humans. If humans had the chance to grasp these type of feelings, the world would be a completely different place.
There would be no drugs, there would be no wars, no sexual crimes, no envy and no need to compete against others. The way that the order works is completely different. There are many reasons why the members of the order have saved humans from extinction, but none of them involve love or any other emotions at all. They are all related to the experimental use of other species to create new colonies and see how they behave and evolve.
No emotions would be uninteresting. Let humans retain their emotional make-up together with the inherent 'sins' intact. Only then its worth living!

the order must be boring
ReplyDeleteWell, the negative emotions suck, sure, but feelings like love and happiness and mirth totally make up for it... and then some.
ReplyDeleteThat would be pretty bleak
ReplyDeleteNo love would suck.
ReplyDeleteAha! Having emotions is something that makes no sense... I will tell my wife next time she accuses me of having no emotions.
