Love. If you love enough, you can overcome all of the others.

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]

Much as The Hierophant said, I was looking for the opinion, or, if not, the one which has affected you most in your life. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Praise be to love.

Hope, if you can't love, hope that you can. If you hate, hope that you don't. If you have no faith, hope that you may find it. imagine a person with no hope? Without this they would simply not try, and not live.

I tried to post thsi before but just as I hit send the place went down .
Ok, We are the masters of our emotions and not vice-versa, emmotions only have the power we give them..it may be all that seperates us from the animals...we controll our instincts and our emmotions. So I maintian, none of our emmotions are stronger than any others..they are all subjective and not objective. [ 05-05-2003, 03:12 PM: Message edited by: MagiK ] |

I think Desire is the strongest emotion... but you didn't list it. IMO it is the basis for the existance of all the emotions you did list.
It can be positive (spurring us to achieve) or negative (jealosy, covetous, avarice, gluttony, etc...). At our most basic level it's "WANT", the genetically programmed need to survive, to procreate, to BE... At a more intellectual level it manifests as a need to grow, to learn, to expand as a person. It is not relative or subjective I think. It is the absolute that drives us all... like it or no. Ignorance of it's power is the fundamental (and fatal) flaw in Socialism. |

I think love is a very true emotion. True the word isn't always used correctly ie "I love chocolate", but I do believe in love.
