What is the strongest emotion and why?

If you count fear as an emotion, then yes fear would be the strongest. Though fear can easily be an instinct since it's origin can be passed down from generation to generation, making it an instinct instead of an emotion. The emotion fear is much less strong, since it's usually on a purely physiological level, (Though not always), and the instinct fear can easily be (And almost always is) physical, making it near impossible for any other emotion to override.
And based on most interpretations of fear, it seems most people blend these together to form one emotion, fear. Which having both the psychological and psychical aspects of it, is by far the strongest.

Hate/Anger is the strongest emotion. i makes people kill

Greed...,pure and simple. The only emotion that can overtake greed is honor.I think the question is...,which is more powerful...,youth or love?

Anger, especially a 'blind rage' as anyone can do terrible acts with it. Its is also mostly uncontrollable.

Jealousy.

It's something that seems to be innate in all mankind..

When we see someone who is essentially 'better' than us (skill-wise, looks-wise, etc), this is the first emotion we feel towards that person.

Its Rage, really nothing beats rage

Rage is petty and dispensible. Love makes people do anything...and unlike rage, they'll do it for an extended period of time.

Rage is only considerd powerful to tweens. Yet amongst them, the perception of love makes them do the most retarded things...

I'm sticking with disgust

Fear, definitely.

To bad love usually falters to lust and greed.

Well Indifference is the opposite of all emotions, and usually causes more damage.

Love.

Hippie.

love is way too powerful

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I was being irritable. Cryptic precociousness bugs me.
