What is the strongest emotion and why?

People say love is the strongest emotion of all.

Do you agree? or disagree? Which emotion do you feel is the strongest and why?

Discuss.

(Props to inimalist for giving me the idea for this thread)

Love (or maybe adoration).

It's stronger than desire, and can last forever.

Hate is the strongest emotion because it cannot be controlled.

Since love and hate are opposites, can't it be both?

Hate.

One reason - you can't control it.
Another reason - After love sours, it usually degrades into hate/anger.
Third reason - As memories fade, so does love. Hate, under the right circumstances, can last much longer.

Desire, envy, love and anger are others that one "can't control"

Re: What is the strongest emotion and why?

I'd say it's guilt, hands down.

When someone is guilt-stricken, it's really obvious because its so hard to hide. It affects your entire day and dominates every thought. It's also a main cause of suicide.

I agree, with the possible exception of anxiety or disgust, although those are more immediate (as in, panic attacks [which yes, can potentially be caused by disgust])

Ecstacy is along the terms of anxiety, I guess.

I'd call it mania, and yes, if we include it as emotion, it is very powerful. Depression then, and potentially lack of motivation would be up there as well.

This is why the scientist in me needs a definition of emotion

distress, fear, lust and delight are the supposed 4 basic emotions, so it might be best to find out which out of those are strongest.

Love/Hate

People kill in the name of love
People kill in the name of hate.

The opposite of Love/Hate is indifference. So Love/Hate are in the same polar catagory and are the strongest.
