The one human emotion that I think we tend to underestimate is not love, anger or joy.
It is sympathy. Once you sympathize another, they behold a power over you. A power that can make you turn right or left. A power that grips your brain and penetrates it to reach your soul. From that, you are no longer yourself. You become part of a community of feelings. Your sense of selfishness is erased completely. It is then replaced by a romanticized unity.
Those who master inflicting such emotions on others hold control over people's sanity, rationality and life decisions. The sole problem is that if one can evoke such an emotion on another, they grasp a soul they are able to twist, twist and twist..
