(7) There are two fundamental emotions, love and fear. All the positive feelings of joy, creativity, wonder, comfort, enthusiasm, you name it, all stem from a sense of loving or being loved. Hate is not the opposite of love, because it is only one of the dark emotions that all actually stem from fear. You hate someone or something because you are afraid of it or what you think it can do to you. Despair, envy, greed, and anger are other ways that fear expresses itself. There is no force powerful enough to conquer fear except love, just as light has the power to dispel darkness.
