Check out Mirror Neurons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron). They might be cause of contagiousness of most emotions. Actually, what you are saying is true, albeit in a different sense.

I guess the bananas start rotting from the bottom so that we can at least take a few fresh bites off the upper side. If they started rotting from above, then we would have to cute the upper part first, throw it away and then eat the remaining bottom. But the nature is clever and smart. And very familiar with human behaviour too. And God is a perfect designer! <a HREF="http://www.serenataflowers.com/category_items/6.htm">Flowers England </a> - Online Florist Hmm..Very thought-provoking question.

This means there is a (evolutionary) historical reason for all of their traits. I never said evolution aims to be beneficial or what. It is just the fact that any trait beneficial for the organism will be preserved. So, we can easily say that any trait observed in the organism is preserved because it is (or was in loose terms) beneficial for the organism. Hence, everything in nature has a reason. I hope I have clarified my point. All organisms are in as perfect state for their immediate environment as possible. This means there is a (evolutionary) historical reason for all of their traits.

Evolution does not aim to be efficient or otherwise beneficial. Evolution is what happens. In the broadest sense, evolution is merely change. And this does not imply perfection in any sense of the word. But I like your thinking... You know, not everything in nature has a reason.
