I would say fear.
Niccolo Machiavelli once asked the question if it would be better for a prince to be loved or feared. He said feared.

Answer 2

In the short run, fear is strong, but it can be overcome by rational thought, so it is the weakest while appearing the strongest initially.

Love and hate are the flip sides of each other, as you can grow to hate where once you loved.

I would vote for love being the strongest, as it has the deeper hold on the emotions. Odd that a mostly positive feeling or force would be stronger than the negatives of hate and fear....but we all remember love. You really cannot cut it out of yourself as you could with either hate or it's sibling fear.

Love can be rationalized...but it still exists, as it itself is not rational. Logic can kill both hate and fear, but has no effect on love.

Answer 3

Well let's see.

Hate is pretty powerful because it can make you do amazing things, but those are generally bad things. Hate causes chaos, and chaos is generally a destructive thing, so, I would say hate is destructive, to everything around, and eventually to itself. Someone living in hate, will eventually destroy themselves, and thus destroy that particular hate.

Fear is powerful because it can give us strength and speed and make us think clearly without hesitation. Of course you can also be "frozen with fear" and completely useless. Again, fear is a destructive force because it makes us close off and build "walls" to protect ourselves, thus not really experiencing the world around us.

Love. Love is, without question, the most powerful force. It can make us powerful, it can make us weak. The weakness of love, though, is still not destructive. Love is a creative force that continues to spread and grow the more it is shared. Love is what made Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesus, and Buddha powerful men. They shared their visions of love throughout the world, and completely changed their own societies as well as those of other cultures as well.

Love has created multiple religions and led individuals to make their lives and other people's lives better. Love continues to grow, despite the way we are running our countries, and despite how poor people are. Love doesn't take away from someone by being shared, and it only hurts when we learn a hard lesson from it.

Answer 4

Love is most powerful. Love makes us fear, and fearing people are powerful. Loves makes us hate(at times) and hate can be very powerful as well, but love wins hands down. When you are in love, you are dangerous and vulnerable at the same time, and that is just the right combo!

Answer 5

They're at equal level - None is more powerful than the other. Some people choose Love, some people choose Fear or Hate. People who choose love are the strong ones who endures. People who choose Fear or Hate are the ones who could blaze and fierce through anything - using that negative energy as means.

The end result (not how powerful they are) is what makes the difference.

Answer 6

Fear absolutley. It can affect your body physically. You can get an adrenalin rush. Blood rushes to the brain improving thinking time and reactions etc. Its by far the most powerfull.

Hate and love are just things that you think in your mind. You may think you hate or love somebody, but what does that actually mean? Fear is in a league of its own.

Answer 7

Hello,

Hate - you end up becoming to obssesed and losing tour focus on what to do correectly

Love - Very powerful but can easily be betrayed.

Fear - That is above love and hate and when people fear you they are less likely to betray you knowing there are dire consequences.

Thus I say fear has the most power.

Answer 8

Love and Hate are direct opposites. They are in a sense the same feeling. You become fearful when someone you love might hate you, or vice versa. Love and Hate do not exist without eachother, because then there'd be no level of comparison. Ok, now go smoke a doobie and think about it.

Answer 9

That all depends on who you ask and their life experiences. For me, sadly it is fear. I've tempted fate for love before and love lost. I've plotted revenge out of hate, but fear killed those intentions as well. I am a survivor at heart, and I hate pain. So, when someone threatens to cut me up into little pieces if I do or don't do something, I do what I'm told. But if not for my life's experiences thus far, I would've picked love as the strongest. But my love is killed by fear.

Answer 10

I think the most powerful emotion is fear. Religionists use the fear of death to line their pockets. Pharmecutical companies plant fear of disease or sickness to sell their pills. Fear can move people to do many things. Propaganda (lies) against certain groups generates fear in the people it is targeted at, maybe to move them to go to war and kill others. Whoever knows how to control the media knows well how to manipulate the masses. Take Hitler for example.
