The Claim: Emotions are important to make rational decisions and to be able to sympathize with others because without we become irrational people that make wrong decisions, without knowing.
The example for the claim:
A person who does not have emotions can act without apathy towards others. They cannot be able to sense danger nor feel situations that force them into doing things that are necessary that one does not like. They are unable to think of the consequences because they do not fear them. One can also have a very dull life and not even know it. (from packet)

In order to know ourselves deeply, we have to know how we feel. You cannot receive information from the world around you without emotion to that reaction. We are people with limited knowledge.
The example for the claim: Also for example when you get bitten by a snake , it is stimulus and you gain knowledge, you'll know with your emotions that a snake bite is dangerous and hurts and you might want to get away from it next time you see a snake.There is a stimulus to that pain and the emotion kicks in to gain that knowledge.(Use emotions for experience)
The counter argument:When you start learning something you dislike you force yourself to do it. If your emotions were not involved then you would do anything without a doubt and without thinking of consequences, because when you really think about it fear can protect us.
Body 3:
The Claim: Just as there can not be knowledge without emotions , but there can be emotions without knowledge
The example for the claim: To believe that one is sure to know about something and is proud of knowing it but not realizing that there could be more to it. But if you are proud of what you know and if you are not arrogant of what you now know , then you are more likely to be open to new ideas and
