Emotions are things that can be very nice at times. At other times they can suck. Something a friend of mine recently asked was, "Why does happyness seem to come with a price?"
I think that happyness has to have a price, if it didn't have a price of some sort then we would not know what it really was. An example would be sweet food, if all you ever ate was sweets you'd get so used to it that there would be nothing special about it. Now because we have to eat foods like vegetables and other less than delicious food, sweets are something that we like. Something special to us.
Carl Jung puts it like this:
"
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word "happy" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
