Our feelings are important because they help us to know ourselves, to be real, and to connect deeply with other people. Feelings evolved in humans for the purpose of keeping us aware of the everyday threats within our environment for the best of our survival. We constantly scan our environment for dangers and opportunities, to satisfy our most basic needs. We get a constant body-map about the state of the world through our feelings. They give us a quick assessment about whether something is good for us or bad for us and they motivate us to take action accordingly.Damasio views the functioning of feelings as a mental expression of emotion,and all other levels of homeostasis regulation.
