Do you think there would be anything of value going on if no one had the ability to feel? Do you think that escaping from danger without feeling anything isn't fundamentally different from being filled with fear during it? What would good and bad even mean if they weren't inextricably tied to pain and pleasure? If feelings didn't and couldn't exist, everything would truly be meaningless. It wouldn't matter at all what you choose to do or what is happening in the world.

My intention was to show why everything is not meaningless. The experience of suffering has a quality that is intrinsically bad for any subject that experiences it. This is an objective statement (pinch your skin with your fingernails and you will clearly recognize it). There is no intrinsic value in a value judgement reached through reasoning or "what your emotional state tells you", just like there isn't intrinsic value in a computer deciding what instruction to execute based on input.

Your judgments certainly have instrumental value, as they are a form of attachment which gives rise to positive or negative feelings when things go or don't go as you would prefer them to, and they guide your behavior, which causes feelings to (not) be experienced in you or other sentient beings.
