Speaking only for myself, I have to say that love was the most intense emotion I experienced growing up. After I became a Christian that love has intensified. Why? My family has always been a caring and loving family. It's natural. As a Christian, the Holy Spirit within me is love so that He loves through me which is even more intense. Fear? I have none. Hate? I don't hate any person but I do hate the evil that may come from them.
