Most powerful? I don't think there is such a thing. It depends on the person that is feeling it. They could be more prone to lash out violently or they would probably become jealous before anger.
i dont think that anger is that powerfull... i mean it can blind you but this is an emotion that you can control easily if you want to. for example im almost never angry and saddness comes to me instead of anger.
I think that fear is the strongest emotion. Fear leads to long-term as well as immediate changes. The behavior which led to the fearful event may be inhibited. Environmental features associated with the event may become aversive, as in phobias and post traumatic stress disorder. If the threats continues to be anticipated for long periods without the danger actually materializing, sustained anxiety and chronic stress can cause physical wear and tear, psychological passivity, and depression.
I change my mind either love or envy (which derives from anger) can be the most powerful. They both are powerful and can lead to things you wouldn't imagine doing in other circumstances. I honestly don't know which one is the most powerful
I change my mind either love or envy (which derives from anger)
Biologically I'm not sure if love or hate came first, or if it's even possible to determine that. But would it be possible to postulate that all emotions derive from love? Hate being the antagonist to love, the way cold is the antagonist to heat; it only exists because we have a view of the opposite. If so then anger, jealousy, envy, pride, etc. could all be said to have originated from love?
