I voted 'despair' - it's a real catalyst for me - if I feel really hopeless and lost, the last thing I want is to continue feeling that way, and so try to worm myself out of it in whatever way possible. It's what drives me in most situations; whether I'm panicking about something silly like a college exam, or I really miss my family or girlfriend, it's the one emotion that will push me to learn for that test, or encourage me to take the long trip to see those I really need to visit. I've often noticed that love breeds complacency more than anything, and I think it's a bit of a cliche to honestly say it's really the most powerful force on earth for everyone. I think 'love' is such an abstract word anyway.
Good to see you, Jerome. Hope you're holding up alright [img]smile.gif[/img]
