Ann, I think love is actually the source of all other emotions,
including the so called negative ones. If one is not totally
conditioned by society, then one experiences love along with various
emotions. At its deepest level, love is not overshadowed by anything
because it includes them all.

Hmmm, you are fortunate if this is your actual experience but for me
it sounds like this came out of a book or two that you read. I'm not
saying this is not your experience it is just that it doesn't sound

//Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; //
//Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink //
//And rise and sink and rise and sink again; //
//Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, //
//Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; //
//Yet many a man is making friends with death //
//Even as I speak, for lack of love alone. //
//It well may be that in a difficult hour, //
//Pinned down by pain and moaning for release, //
//Or nagged by want past resolution’s power, //
//I might be driven to sell your love for peace, //
//Or trade the memory of this night for food. //
//It well may be. I do not think I would." /
