If you desire to further subdivide the continuum, yes, a plethora of definable emotions exist on the continuum between love and fear, and even those terms have been abused in so many ways that what I actually intend to mean could be completely different from what you are getting from these words. Perhaps it would be more specific for me to merely state that there are those emotions that feel positive/creative and those emotions which feel negative/destructive. We come up with different names for these feelings based on how they arise and whether they feel good or bad, but I've never experienced a "neutral" emotion. Unless you consider the perception of no emotion to be an emotion unto itself.
