Up: [[Emotions]] Created: 2023-10-31 When an emotion is working well, it comes only when it is needed, it shifts and changes in response to its environment, and it goes back to a soft and flowing state once it is no longer needed. Love is different. It stays around, doesn’t increase or decrease in response to its environment, and it doesn’t change. Love isn’t the opposite of fear or hate or any other emotion. > [!user] Karla McLaren, *The Language of Emotions*, p.107-108
