Talking further, TB12 added emotions keep him alive.

You have got to live with it for the rest of your life. And that’s okay. It’s better to have that emotion and feeling. Because it feels like being alive, you know, rather than being dead without any feelings. I choose to be alive and live with it,” the NFL titan added
