im saying, that fear has no value to it.

Really, it depends on our definition of "strength." Strength as in "intensity in which an emotions is felt"? That can not be determined in the slightest, and not only because it's relative. Any emotion can be felt to a magnanimous degree, provided the situation is right.

Strength as in "what provides the biggest impact on our lives"? That can be measured, to a degree, and the outcome is fear.

^im talking more about "value" in the objective, self evident way that some emotions have inherent value to humans because that relationship between the human-emotion is hardwired into their very being and the concepts which define them.

those things which are desireable to human beings due to our human nature, yet seperated from instincts in that, it makes us feel wonderful/better as opposed to simply satiating a desire.

i.e. it gives us an emotional peace/satistfaction which we consider different from and better than being satiated/releived of a biological necessity and we define these things we find superior to satiating as "valueable".

I consider love to be the strongest emotion!It can defeat even hate.

The combined Love of the Allied forces overwhelmed the pure Hate of the Nazis---may the power of Heart protect you!

Captaaaiin Planet!

Sometimes I find getting pissed off to be one of the most powerful emotions.

fear is undoubtedly the most powerful emotion

Definitely.

anxiety.

horoscopes, religion, fate, higher powers, destiny........all this mumbojumbo because we are anxious about our future and where we're going.

hate/jealousy?

in some jurisdictions, killing a spouse caught in flagrante delicto of having sexual intercourse with another person shall only suffer the penalty of destierro (or exile). no capital punishments.

The strongest emotion is when you totally change the way your life is for the best, yet still something happens that embarrasses you in the same exact way. It is because I could blame myself, but that's gay. It's just normal things, like I was too tired to make a wittier decision concerning my life, and now people see me as simply mortally human as opposed to more the ideal, maybe even subhuman feelings.

It's more racial definition than preference issues. Men cheat on girls and end up talking to older people who effeminate and infant-ize/babify them just to make them feel good and to cheat on the person they love.

I know it's not necessarily an emotion but if we're referring to emotions as strongest motivation i think Pain is the strongest motivation.

Jealousy can also be tied in to roots of fear... just saying.

Jealousy is simply fear of loss.

Hate is. Hate can last for generations and can get to the point where people don't even know WHY they hate. Just look at the Israelis and the Arabs.
