(September 18, 2011 at 8:06 pm)Castle Wrote: Love is total absence of fear; Love is the Master of fear. Most people do not master love, because fear is the base emotion from which hate, prejudice, greed, stress, paranoia, and all of the many other negative emotions from where it comes.

Greed? i don't see how greed comes from fear

Basicly it all can be deconstructed into two basic programs the mind of a sentient being(almost all animal lifeforms):

Pleasure is good, look for it
Pain is bad, make it go away

EDIT:Also Agape love is not the total absence from fear, (otherwise abrahamic faiths wouldn't exist), it's just a stronger emotion than fear, like hatred is a stronger emotion than sexual attraction(closet homosexuals)
