That the basic feelings people have in life are love and fear, and their actions are based on these feelings?

What about hunger, and boredom? Those are some key motivators in my life...

Yes, I would agree with that. I also know people who have a fear of love. And the people who go on roller coasters or do extreme sports seem to love fear! I think all humans have the same emotional needs, and that is to be loved and accepted by others, and to feel secure. When those needs are fulfilled, we feel happy. When they aren't met, we feel sad and depressed.

Hmm,.. I thought Shelter & Water worked into the requirements for a human being. Or was that for any animal,...
.... oh and the Food,.. it's a GOOD idea there that food.
My life revolves around Curiosity, Food, and Communication I think. And Sprite or Milkshakes as fluids instead of water.
I don't get enough Love or Fear these days.

Wow, I definitly don't think that a mere two emotions run my life. In fact if they did I'd be incredibly weak. My actions are based on a combination of life experiences (wisdom), emotions, consequences, and goals.

I couldn't have said it better even if I tried. You said it all, and I think fear influences us much more than the love itself. It reminds me of what RDF said, "The only thing to fear is, FEAR itself". It comes to show just how much fear can control one's life. When you love someone, fear can dissolve that love if you entertain the doubts (for an example) in your heart.
I really like this question; it is like reality-check for me. Thanks for this!

yes i agree with you but there are much more feelings that the 2 you mention. if we pause for awhile after how we feel than our reaction or action might be a better one

I neither fear nor love answering this question... yet for some reason I'm typing a response... so I would have to disagree.
