What is it that makes us human? Is it the way we walk, the way we talk, our unique reasoning ability, or our ingenuity? No. It is the cause behind all these different things: emotion.
Emotions are what make us human. Our ability to feel, to empathize, to love, to hate. These are what truly make us who we are. They are the driving force behind all the things the effect the world: the great works of art, the great inventions, the great wars. It is the underlying motivation behind everything we do.
The strength of these emotions differ, but I believe there are two that match for the rank of strongest: love and hate. There are no emotions stronger, or more influential, than these two. They completely subvert all of our prized reasoning abilities and drive us to act in way we never would otherwise.
These two emotions also have their apices: the love one feels for their friends, and the hate one feels for themselves.
Though dark the light of day may be,
the path we tread we still can see,
take one step forward, and the repeat,
the hate inside, we can defeat.
