What, in your opinion, is the strongest emotion known to mankind? Why do you believe that is the strongest emotion?
It doesn't matter if it's a correct or incorrect answer, I don't want academic answers. I want your own personal opinion on what the strongest emotion is?

Edited by PKun, Grey Knight: 11/21/2016 7:45:26 AMI'd say there is no "strongest emotion." All emotions are equally powerful, but if not expressed often or left unchecked, suddenly there is an imbalance of strength in emotions. I actually read of this in Stephen King's essay, titled "Why We Crave Horror Movies." I don't exactly have his words memorized, but here's a brief summary: There are two sets of emotions that are recognized by society: Pro-Civilization Emotions (Happiness, Love, Loyalty, etc.) and Anti-Civilization Emotions (Anger, Greed, Lust, etc.). Essentially, we have to keep these emotions in control, in order to be in control of our actions. The only problem is that by openly expressing Anti-Civilization Emotions in public, negative consequences soon follow. As a result, people watch horror movies as a safer version of public lynching (A.K.A. publicly killing people), in order to relieve themselves of these emotions despised by society. So more or less, it depends on how well you keep your emotions in check.
-
No emotion.
-
Love. It is the only emotion that can overpower the natural survival instincts.
-
Willpower is the strongest.
-
I am going to say love
-
You know how they say that fear keeps you alive? I might go with fear.

The song as the spoiler. It's Wot. [spoiler] I have a thread idea. This thread is simple. I ask questions, you provide answers, I then design an environment arranged from the answers. I will try to include the total threads build in edit updates, however the idea I use is best applied with building an environment space for each person who responds by going through the entire process. The question arrangement is sometimes different so I can put a fresh spin on things occasionally but the process remains the same. To begin pick one or more of the following: Color Number Type of stone Type of tree (This is mainly just for a base shape if you have a specific tree in mind I need a few details describing it.) Celestial body Landmark Word you like the sound of. Building, or style of building Smell Taste Flower type Shape of fruit Type of ground cover [i]If you have constructed something you wish to include, like a texture or other idea, please post [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/39813/217479533/0/0]here[/url] to let me know so I can keep the thread clean. Having the separate discussion helps me to know how to include such things and refine the process I use. [/i] Edit: From this broad environment we construct we can setup public story/various art contest, rotating platforms with style. Ex: Destiny finds this place, We all are stuck in our separate spaces and have to design various things we can do together, Suddenly a bunch of tribes of people are thrown onto a planet together and it is our job to get them to this place, Bungie community spawns in the environment... With Atheon unarmed and VoG rules, you can pick a teammate and setup a game for the group to play in a place we vote on, etc. Link for story discussion [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/39813/217479727/0/0]here.[/url] Group vote: include sample? A mighty oak comparative in size to a small city sprung forth from an amazing flat slab of obsidian right at the top of a mountain toping a cted valley of cascading waterfalls. 117 branches formed a dome of leaves around the trunk The tree was large enough to support the vast array of rooms and passages inside and upon it. Flowers of each type of shape appeared with a myriad of colors and patterns along the paths and doorways creating sections of detail highlighting specific species in some areas, pairings in others and groups elsewhere. Furthermore as if the tree were a bush by size comparison huge flowers of each appearing on the tree dotted the entire interior of the dome with amazing canopy of larger leaves with a section of midrange flowers decorating the surface of the massive tree. Hanging in orbit above Above the dome a planet like mars always seemed to be showing the face or a gigantic volcano. A dazzling array of auroral light danced above in the atmosphere as with a long time partner of love in the form of a lightning that seemed to hop through and connect the waves of the borealis. Like I said it was a sample. With more time and questions it gets better. Encased in a sphere of void energy the black hole was little more than a planet in size. With a interior riddled with the same energy the black hole had torn asunder and a world had begun to form within its center, it's surface hovering over a neutron star shape like a spherical snowflake, rotating casually as it’s interior surface reflected the stars light in a dazzling display of creation. With an interior supporting a series of crystalline cubes magnifying and reflecting the light back at the star and throughout the matrix. The transformation this enabled however was far more impressive then the Dyson Sphere like structure the crystalline matrix woven around the star. As the light reflected it created a new field of effect as it coalesced with the warring energy fields surrounding it. The stars soft light seemed to simply be everywhere within the void sphere above the matrix. Located on a hexagon hub on one side of the matrix a dazzling array of multi color lighting merged into a mass of land and growth hovering 7 stories above the matrix. From the sharp glare of lighting sprang up a volcano erupting liquid ground that folded on top of itself in a continuous flow of land blanketed by a soft moss and flowers which seemed seemed to flow and merge with the lava into a tree like the Ohia tree. It's trunk springing forth from the center of the flow it toward thousands of feet in the air, its flowers a dazzling array of colors, yet no 2 alike. Dragon fruit like orbs hung out over the edge of the flow on the branches, occasionally falling into the lightning, only to create further lightning that stretched out the surface of the void interior only to vanish within the black hole remnants left intact, reappearing as a rain of moon flowers that seemed to swirl like a light snow around the tree. (More later, but wanted to get this much up. May take a few more questions to arrange the housing structure.)

Depends on the person, some people may love someone enough to overcome fear that would paralyze someone else.

Edited by Ayy: 11/20/2016 10:15:40 AMFear and Depression
-
Regret
-
Definitely fear
-
Hatred. Pure, unadulterated, seething hatred. It's easy to throw the word "hate" around, but for anyone who has ever experienced it at full measure, even love, fear and sadness - as powerful and deep as they can be - don't come close.
-
I'm going to vote "fear." Anger has the power to push one to action, and so does love. But fear has the power to stop someone dead in their tracks.
-
Ecstasy and depression, in terms of how they make you feel. You can feel any other emotion from those two. I mean they are the extremes of happy and sad for a reason lol.
-
Bordom.
-
Anger.
-
The hate that I feel when I wallow in this pitiful existence [spoiler][b][i][u]eeedddgggyyyy[/u][/i][/b][/spoiler]
-
Love and rage.
-
Either love or hope
-
Probably between fear, greed, and ambition.

Edited by ROBOT JOSH: 11/20/2016 12:09:13 AMSadness. It helps you slow down and think a situation through. When I'm having a bad day, I end up thinking about everything I coould have done right, and what I can do to fix it. This encourages me to try harder, and actually makes feel better. So sadness makes me happy I guess? Anyways its the strongest emotion for me.

The kind I get when I'm around you bby
-
Love... Not sure if I've experienced it yet. Depends...
