yuck, feelings...

 I was thinking.
 What is the strongest of human emotion.
 No that is the wrong question, which human emotion is the one that pushes us the farthest. 

 In most places you look, hear, ask or see its tends to be the same answers. Love, Fear and Hate.

First people think that love is because it is a strong emotion no matter how you look at it, and people will do lots of things for love. But if you dissect that feeling you find a lot of love is just other emotions. Fear, jealousy, sometimes Hate, and there is also Lust. So is Love really the strongest? It seems like Love is an emotion with strength, but the reason it is considered so strong is because it 'comes' with so many other emotions. And yes it can push us to do some crazy things, but often it is done for a different reason so for several reasons. So i have to say i don't think that love is the right answer.

The next most common emotion is Fear, and Fear is also a very strong emotion. I would say stronger than love, or maybe more pure. Fear is one of the most pure i think, if you are truly sacred, or Fearful of your life than you are going to dismiss just about all other feelings. Your muscles can give out, you let go of reason, put basically people tend to give up when they are very very afraid.  But i don't think that Fear is the strongest because even if most people break down in Fear, there are those few people who preform better when under fear. We always hear about the extraordinary things that some people have done, even in the worst of times. Fear i think can push people to do even more crazy things than love but again people do one of two things with this emotions. One break down and do nothing, or two do the unthinkable. It is because of these things i think that Fear, even though it is a very strong and pure emotion, is not the strongest or most forceful.

Next on the common list is Hate, and for good reason. Hate, like Fear is an over overwhelmingly powerful emotion, and mind you here i am talking about real hate. The hate that makes you feel as though whatever it is you Hate is disgusting, utter filth. It should be removed, the feeling that whatever you feel this toward you want nothing less than pain for it. You give up your morals for this thing and want it to hate itself just as much as you hate it. Hate is strong and can be very pure, but it can never be the strongest and most pure because you have to have a reason why you hate them, and that must stem from something else, leaving Hate as a secondary feeling. Hate makes people do insane things, they give up reason, but i don't think that this has gotten people that far over all. So Hate cant take this title.

I want to point out that all of these are very strong emotions, and for all i know they are the most powerful, this is just how i look at them and what i think.
Now for what i think should hold this title of the strongest.

Curiosity.
