Jealousy is a lame emotion. Most people who are jealous are usually better off than they think they are. It fits well with greed cause the envious never get enough of what belongs to others. They're still lames though for not trying to get their own lives.
On a related note, what's the strongest neurotransmitter or hormone? If the strength of emotion has anything to do with the strength of a neuropathway, the strongest emotions are whatever emotions you decide to develop. Hmm... that actually makes a lot of sense without physiology too.
I think this question is really stupid. How could you possibly rank emotions by strength? Its like comparing apples to oranges. They work in different ways.
I prefer to rank them in terms of use and influence. To which I've argued fear is the greatest tool.

Yeah, fear or maybe rage. Both can be useful in conflict for the person feeling them and for the person who causes them in others. I wouldn't really consider love an emotion, but infatuation or attraction is definitely a strong one too.

Is willpower an emotion? Or a state of mind?
Fear and Love I feel deep inside my stomach and it makes my head swim.
Whereas willpower seems to me to be a focused mindset. A form of Intent. whereas emotions are more of a respose from something, Willpower is how we respond.
An interesting question.
But I agree though Intent is more powerful than Fear, but Intent isn't an emotion.

Interesting. You mean material/relationships/addictions ect?
Such things are definitely not emotions but circumstantial reactions. Some attachments are forms of perception, therefore thought based.
Yeah I agree. People react fearfully to discomfort.
If they revel in that fear, hate is the active mindset they undertake to deal with it. Unless they discover love to blanket it.
Fear is the emotion, Hate the reaction/state of mind.
Fear and pain spurns action and growth.
Sometimes I think Love is a mindset as well and those feelings you feel when in the company of someone you are attracted to is more base primal instincts to breed and multiply/sex.
And the feeling you have when surrounded by family/friends is primal group safety. Love for your Job/Family/Friends? sounds like security.
Fear is not a bad thing. It is there to teach us to avoid what hurts us. Like a child touching fire for the first time. Without fear we would be fools.
Man I'm sounding like a Sith.

Don't you agree it's attachment that forms the basis of your perception that you are your own unique person?
You are attached to this concept of Self, and you blanket this individuality with emotions and thoughts aimed to shape and separate yourself from all others.
Your attachment, your desire for all things in the material world, to yourself and to the ones around you drive all the natural emotions of love, hate, fear, jealously, surprise, etc.
