If we couldn't see we wouldn't have made paintings. If we couldn't walk we wouldn't have invented shoes or sidewalks. If we would not have emotions we wouldn't have bothered with music, visual art, games, movies, etc at all. These things only exist because the artist had emotions that allowed him to produce these things, and because other people exist to enjoy these things.<br /><br />You probably mean to say that emotions are not unique to humans. I think this is true, to some extent. Of course, emotions cannot be truly separated from the rest of our minds. I do think that our emotions are 'deeper' than those of other animals, just because we have higher ability to reason and to imagine.
