Out of your options, love. But not in the romantic sense... I have a powerful, almost painful love for the human race, for the goodness and acts of beauty and kindness that we are capable of, a love for the noblest traits of mankind if you will. My own love life has been a rollercoaster recently but it's this greater, universal love that keeps me grounded, keeps me hopeful...
If we're going to go obscure here...
sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
Edited to copypasta from the source because the full definition is much more poetic.
I've felt this way since I was 14.
I feel like every interaction with a human is an amazing experience, and that I am lucky to enter that person's life, even just for a moment. To encounter a new life is an honor, in my opinion. To play a role in their existence and their perception of all that is life...
Not at all. I try to avoid blanket statements... but I think, in the end, we truly live for those moments of connection, even the fleeting ones... everything is temporal in the end, what matters is what you felt. Even tiny moments like a shared joke with a passing stranger can become a sort of balm for the soul... I know some would disagree but for me that connection is like breathing, to be away from people too long puts me off balance, disoriented. Probably why I've been a little out of sorts this spring break. XD
Which is your favorite emotion?

Sorry, now I'm just getting pretentious.

Everyone knows this, everyone thinks this, it's common sense, and love is not the only emotion that could come of it.
