Personally I believe the base emotion of everything is love. I believe any negative emotion comes up is because of love. So if anyone is up for debate paint a scenario that you dont believe is based on love. The challenge will be for me to tie it in with love, can you stump this theory?
i am love, i am joy, i am peace, i thank the teachers and the teachings
i am brother neil

Theory, Neil? Perhaps more fact, and it is difficult to stump facts.

Yes, but first, define love.

imo, words cannot do it justice, it can only be felt. words will always come short. Lately I have felt it more. If I describe it one who has felt it will have an understanding, one who is a bad mood or bitter may say it is hogwash
backing me in the corner and I have to give a definition
love is caring for the greatest good of one and all, sometimes assisting, sometimes enjoying the moment, sometimes sacraficing, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing. But the background theme is caring for the greatest good. this is my personal evolving definition.

pandara, how many facts are there?
i am love, i am peace, i am joy
i am brother neil

i believe there are 2 base emotions love and fear. negative things are from fear about having no love

why would you fear if you have no love. If you did not care why fear anything?
i am love, i am light, i am joy, i am peace

Fear and lack of love are not mutually exclusive, and caring and loving are not synonymous.

At least to my way of thinking. But I haven't finished thinking about it so, who knows.

One can always look here:

This discussion is annoying. I wonder why ...

PS. I hate being so dependant of love. It can be an addiction. I, for myself, I'd trade love for peace anytime.

if you do not experience love, you experience fear. not because you do not care. but because you care ( about yourself)
why should we deny one side of reality?
if there is only love and nothing but love, there could not be any fear

so your theory does not hold
with love from Louise

if you care then love is present, if love is not present then why would you care? You fear being without love but the simple act of fear of being without love means that you recognize love. Love comes first and fear comes second. You fear because you love. you do not love because you fear. Just my take
i am love, i am joy, i am peace
