Most Powerful Human Emotion
 
I think fear and love is most powerful.

Frostweaver September 9th, 2003 5:50 PM

love and hatred. They're *almost* exactly the same (if you read a lot of more classical books you'll understand what i mean)

Kyosuke September 9th, 2003 5:51 PM

I would have to agree with you about that 22sa, the thing with fear is that every single person on earth has to have at least one, and with love, that can be played around alot.

22sa September 9th, 2003 5:51 PM

Lol how did you post before I finished the poll? >.<

Timbjerr September 9th, 2003 6:22 PM

Biologically, I say Fear cause that stimulates the pumping of adrenaline(sp?), whick makes your muscles stronger...

Psychologically, I say pride because with pride comes confidence, and with confidence, you fell you can do anything, and thus, you really can do anything.

Frostweaver September 9th, 2003 6:37 PM

at the same time, pride can tag arrogance along with it...

Miyu-chan September 10th, 2003 5:12 AM

Joy, Hate, Love and Envy... well, I think so. o.O;

G-LANCE September 10th, 2003 5:16 AM

You get the point...

This is a very good poll topic, very philosophical!

I would have to say hatred and fear. People are so afraid of things especially things they don't understand or deem to be different (like homosexuality, different culutes, etc.) that they get to scared of them and usually this fear turns to hatred.

Love is pretty powerful as well, sometimes too powerful. However, I don't think that the amount of people who say they have been in true love is accurate at all. I think love is a lot stronger than that, and many people refer to crushes as love. This really irks me. I for one, don't even know what true love is and that's why I think many teenagers mistake crushes for love, since they've never experienced true love before.

Bah, I'm weird and sometimes get to philosophical, although that wasn't too bad XD.

I think hatred's the most powerful, but that's just me. >.>

Love and Hatred is the most powerful emotions that comes out from the list. Fear can be a another one, but not as powerful as Love and Hatred. Love is a power emotion between 2 people. You and your Girlfriend/Boyfriend or etc. Hatred is disliking someone like Saddam Hussein, but at greater power of dislike. :P

Frostweaver September 10th, 2003 2:14 PM

Love and Hatred are the 2 most powerful emotions. Fear is an important one, but not the most powerful. Fear just stops someone from doing something. On the other hand, love and hatred can drive someone into doing anything.

In order to love, you push yourself to the limit. You can just do about anything for your lover/love. Like in those romance novels, sometimes the characters can commit murder just to "steal" someone back to him/her.

Hatred is exactly the same as love, just in the opposite direction. Hatred is the negative emotion (and love is the positive one) that can drives people into doing anything. In order to rid/satisfy your hatred, you have to destroy the thing you hate, or at least turn the table around to that it's in your favor instead of the other way around. Other more specific emotions come from hatred, like for example, hunger for power. Hunger for power comes out of the hatred of society, or the hatred to be under control/manipulated. Only if you have power, you won't be in control or manipulated by someone else, and in return you'll be the one to manipulate others (which stimulates the hatred in someone else and thus the evil cycle begins)

The Three heads of Wisdom , Joy Sorrow and Anger ...............

I think love and suicide are my strongest emotions

John Denver September 10th, 2003 5:59 PM

Pride is the strongest emotion, hands DOWN!

BOO ya!

Arcanine September 11th, 2003 8:20 AM

I say Fear (what tmbjr said about it) and Hatred.

Q Man September 11th, 2003 11:26 AM

Fear, Hatred, and Love. They're all very powerful, and are completely capable of changing the entire personality of somebody under the right conditions, and it sometimes doesn't even take a lot to cause a mentality change in a person, especially if the three are combined and employed en masse all at one time (just like two years ago today)

orange*berry September 11th, 2003 1:10 PM

Never underestimate the power of love. n.n-
Hatred is just... dangerous. X.o()

22sa September 11th, 2003 4:40 PM

Strange. Hatred wasn't so popular on my last Strongest Emotion poll at PC.

Rift September 11th, 2003 6:55 PM

i agree with most the people on here, id say love and hatred! or indegestion...

Hazuki-san September 11th, 2003 8:35 PM

I think that love, hate, and fear are the most powerful emotions

Keitaro September 13th, 2003 6:58 PM

It's simple "Love" because it has all the feelings bunched into one. That's what makes love undescribable.

Cherrim September 13th, 2003 7:10 PM

I chose fear and angst. It's human nature to have fear. Be it fear of death, fear of being alone, or even something as simple as a fear of insects, fear is present within everyone. I'm taking angst as jealousy, depression/sadness, anger, and hatred all rolled into one. Everyone feels this at times, and I've found it to be more powerful than any time I've felt a great deal of love for, say, my family or friends. It's just easier to be depressed.

I find love overrated anyway. =\ But it could just be my mood since I'm in a very bad one right now. ;_;

mewthree w/armor September 14th, 2003 5:55 AM

Hate is just so powerful...It makes people do things they shouldn't and it clouds judgment.

Castrainer June 25th, 2004 8:17 PM

Hate, Love, Fear and Apathy...
Wait! Im "reviving" thist thread from da last page, hehe...

rabbitsdying2 June 25th, 2004 8:31 PM

It's a toss up between fear (which could produce any of those other emotions that range from hate to envy to angst) and love. So many significant and inexplicable acts have been done in the name of either.
