Love or Fear?

Which is a more powerful emotion: love or fear? Why do you think so?

Unfortunately, I'll have to go with fear on this one. I have seen love conquered by fear too many times. In fact, I have often seen love lead to fear: fear of losing the person, fear of not being good enough, fear of change, etc. I have also seen love conquer fear, but not as often. Also, I think you can start out loving someone deeply and completely, but, over time, for whatever reason, you may end up not loving that person. But when you start out fearing something, even though you may be able to get that fear under control, I believe it's always there, and, sometimes it festers, thus destroying love.
