If the population of a nation must have a strong emotional component to act in any politicaly meaningful way, which is more constructive?
Anger will move people to change things, sometimes drastically with violent means.
Fear will move people to be sheep, unquestioning, eyes closed to the "bad things" happening around them.
Love will move people to help one another, compassionately reaching out to their fellows in support.
Hate will move people to swing machetes at their neighbor of 20 years.
I fear that we have too little love in our society to save it and the anger that this engenders is not good for the future.

I was not aware that I had restricted my url. Thank you for the post.
Strikes me in society, that when it comes to love and compassion it's all so very insular and selfish.
A selective process of who these qualities will be given in a society which is based on the survival of the fittest Too many, only look out for #1 and their immediate dependants. Not realizing that as humans not all have those supportive loving environments... and that in fact, we all need each other.
I am trying to be positive here!

When love in a pure state
hate
fear
It is the wisdom of those who love I guess you are questioning?
It is true that we are not evolved far past that barfight whats in it for me moment mentality.
