Is it possible to make the feeling of love as powerful as the feeling of fear?

Question

Doesn't it take more energy to feel fear and negativity than to feel good and positive?

Why does fear dominate love in most situations?

Answer 1

This all goes back to the instinctual fight or flight programming that we are all born with. Fear is about survival. Love is an emotion that is on a different level than fear. Only when you are not afraid can you experience love.

Answer 2

We have a lower and a higher self. From the lower self arises the negative emotions, animal like. If we had a perfect upbringing we would have grown the higher self to the point where we could transcend the lower self and all its drives. But the world is imperfect. We inherit an innate reactive nature of the lower order, and the imperfect world and the people who control it know how to push your buttons and activate your programming, for their selfish benefit. It isn't until we mature that we can often see our real potential as humans and then begin the struggle to grow the higher self through many trials. The first step is the recognition of the wrong part of us, the desire to get beyond it and become a different person of a higher order.

Seems like we first grow up, then we outgrow what we first grew into. At least the seeking person takes this courageous journey.

Answer 3

Fear and love are tied to a balance of survival. In my opinion,
fear is more important and reliable than love. For example,
if something is fearful and dangerous an individual will
most likely avoid that something. However, if something
is lovely and dangerous an individual might be tempted
to ignore the danger. Both fear and love can be irrational,
but it is love that draws things closer together which reinforces
that irrationality.

Answer 4

It has been said that you must fear to love. Do not belive this.

I do not believe that you can love nearly as much as you can fear, unless you fear that person you believe you love.

Fear is in a person's survival. Unless you TRULY cannot live without this person next to you [[litterally like an inch away]] your whole life, you do not love this person more than you would fear for your life if you were in such a situation.

Answer 5

Oh uuu oh Curly said make love as powerful as laughter, laughter is as powerful as fear and much healthier, fear and love should not be associated together. Yes fear and anger takes much more energy, and fear can only dominate when you allow it to you can control your fears, do not let fear control you. Laughter and Love this is the Key.

Answer 6

Because the love was not real love. If it is a love that is an attachment to another, then there will be a fear of loss involved. Love that does not originate from a personal attachment or a personal desire is true unconditional love - a love for all things and all beings.

Answer 7

i do no longer believe you could say one or the different relatively. It relies upon on the guy. some everyone seems to be sensible adequate to triumph over their fears with the aid of accomplishing awareness and refusing to gasoline their lack of know-how. persons are not. desire is exactly an identical element. some people have developed their conceptual faculties and are waiting to venture previous any problems of the on the spot 2nd, on an identical time as others don't have the psychological ability to venture previous the tip of the week. So in my opinion, desire is extra suitable in those with extra intelligence, and concern is extra suitable in those with much less. in case you prefer a precise answer, you're able to be able to desire to get some IQ rankings, discover the dividing line, and then make certain which group is a majority.

Answer 8

Gets off on facing fears. Its the best feeling that acceptance of fear as a part of the love. Like throwing ones self to the winds of fate, committing to our actions, consequences be damned like they even mattered in the first place. Worst case scenario we hurt, and it feels good to hurt. The pain tells us just how much we really care, then after the hurt we know better then to let that conniving slut mess with us again, or we are damned to hurt for ever, and oh how it feels good to hurt.

Answer 9

Even if I am not an absolute idealist, I do think that love can be even more powerful than fear: there are situations-- & not only in movies-- when love-- in al its forms, & mostly, love for mankind which manifests itself in case of wars, catastrophies,etc.--- can perform, out of solidarity, heroic actions: man then forgets about himself & only intend to save other individuals (this has been the case in N.Y. 11th Sept. & Madrid, 11th March.
There is a "now famous" action of this kind which was the first time the French heard about Sarkozy, the President of France: he was a Mayor then, & did not hesitate to risk his live trying to face & talk with an armed terrorist, the Bomb-Man, who had dozens of schoolchildren at his mercy. alone,
I am not sure I can answer the 2nd. question, except in a simple way: there are cases, most of them, probably, when it works just the other way round: one´s love for a person, or a group of persons, is unable to forget about self-love & gets filled with fear.

Answer 10

Believe in God and seek higher wisdom, understanding, and LOVE and it is possible and probable that you will make the feeling of LOVE more powerful than the 'feeling' of fear (if not eliminate the need for the 'feeling' of either all together)
