by one measure, every emotion is some configuration of love or the absence of it. some emotions, like joy, are quietly rarified because they can only exist on the precondition of a love that you carry, not something temporary. sadness is the weight of a disconnect from love. hope is a bridge to, elation is an expansion of, anger is a denial of and rage is its rejection.
in this paradigm grief might be the most interesting emotion because it is in equal measure love’s truest mirror and its total void.
