But you have to remember...that although Jasper's power allowed him to control emotions and moods...that he ALSO felt other's emotions and moods. This power is a double-edged sword and has its advantages and disadvantages. When Jasper hunted humans...he felt what they felt when he murdered them. So, Jasper pretty much stayed majorly depressed before he met Alice. This is also a reason WHY Alice wanted to stay with the Cullens. Alice knew that they could help Jasper to stay a vegetarian vampire. So, now that Jasper's no longer killing humans...he no longer suffers from the depressions he used to get after hunting humans. Although Jasper is the weakest when it comes to being a vegetarian...he actually wants to be one.
