Why would having a pill that reduces emotions (such as hatred) be better for us? make sure to elaborate on your thinking. example: the pill would reduce death rates, racism, etc.

A pill reducing emotions would help humans rationalize and think logically before we just do something. It would drop the crime rates, divorce rates, and therapy recommendations. With that that type of pill, however, problems can arise. Depending on the emotions that gets reduced people can lose there happiness, excitement, and things of that nature. We can create a bunch of inconsiderate, self absorbed people. So with a pill like this we are ultimately stuck in a catch 22. It can help and harm us at the same time.
