The most powerful emotion in existence is spite.

No great deed, moment in history, invention or piece of art could exist if not for the phrase "I'll show you, you bitch!". For example, Schopenhauer was filled with so much spite from the actions and words of his mother that he gave us some of the best pessimistic philosophy ever written.

The most powerful emotion is regret. To desire is bad enough, but to be so close to accomplishing something, and then to fail miserably, is the ultimate sign of our humanity--that we are good enough to know we are good, but then to be bad enough to never be gods, and never truly be in control of our lives and our futures. That's the worst suffering and the best reflection of who we are.

i always trip over it in classical works, even knowing what it is meant to convey and how fit it is to do so, because the cringe response is now automatic
every time someone mentions his "anxiety" online i just dismiss him/her as a faggot/attention seeker.
