Contentment. Yep, that would be pleasent. Unfortunately when something happens that you'd want to be happy about you'd just be content and that would really be annoying, but hay, you wouldn't be annoyed, you'd just be content, so would you notice?

Ooo... that's actually a bit deep...

You ever get that really, really shitty feeling when you're hot and sweaty, you're starving, your mouth is dry, you feel like you need a shower, and you really need to use the bathroom?

I'd go with the feeling right after you've taken care of all of that so you feel calm and satisfied, but you still have that feeling of being better than you were a little while ago, and also that thing you ordered in the mail is here! Yay!

That euphoric feeling you get when you satisfy a decade-long nostalgic urge.

Hate. It is damn satisfing to hate someone, to fufill that hate. Hate is one of the most powerful emotions, and with unlimited hate?
You could drive yourself and others to anything, good or bad.

Nothingness. No pain, no love, no hate, no jealousy, no fear. I wouldn't call it a sense of zen, zen implies spiritual peace. This is not peace, this is not acceptance, this is simply being.

It's the feeling I had the 4th week of boot camp. That ability to just do. To be willing to put a bullet into another human being and feel nothing. Not hate towards them, not feeling sorry for them, just being able to do something others find horrendous and feel nothing because of it.

That.

Focused Determination
Anything that's possible would be attainable with focused determination.
I can't really see the downside of it, I'd be an unstoppable bad-ass and they would speak my name in legends for generations. It would be the "make the most out of it" superpower.

happy?

It would wierd people out at certain points but I'd be happy so screw them >_>
Basically this. Although I might skew it in a "blissful contentment" sort of way.

...

Y'know, it would be pretty weird only being able to respond with one emotion regardless of circumstances.

"Oh man, you lost your job, your girlfriend left you for your stepfather and your dog died... all on the same day."
"Yup! And yet, I'm still blissfully content!"

Wouldn't really have much of a choice in the long run, as I'd eventually get used to it and have nothing to compare it to, so I wouldn't even notice it anymore. It'd be more like apathy.

I guess I'd go for driven, at least I have some choice in terms of what I'm driven to do.

Somewhere between passive and happy. That's pretty much where I am anyway. Content is a good word for it.

I agree with the starfish, most of the time I'm rather a miserable shite so being in a mental state of constant serenity would be a welcome change.
I third this. If we were always content, it wouldn't matter what would happen. We'd always feel okay with it. Constant serenity. And isn't this essentially the goal of Buddhism?

Can 'recently satisfied vengeance' count as an emotion, because I'd live with that for the rest of my life. There's honestly no better feeling than when I have just avenged myself in some way.

If not then I'd take the easy option and have happiness.
depends,do you feel intense happiness when you avenge someone/yourself? if so then that's Euphoria your feeling.

The feeling of waking up next to the girl I love and seeing her smiling while shes asleep.


just for shits and giggles: my captcha was: "Hooray Henry!"
