nvictor, you are very coherent in your belief system, and I tink you make some good points.
However, I don't think fear is REALLY more powerful than love. Let me explain :
Based on what i read, fear based thinking makes you act AGAINST what you fear i.e. against a "negative" outcome.
Example : you wrote :"We as living creatures can't live alone [fear], so we must express ourself to other living creatures, interact with them in many way [relationships]."
Here relationships are a means of NOT being alone. And the best way for that, as you explain, is to love (which as you say is in this case a consequence of fear). negative + negative = positive.
Love based thinking would act for a "positive" outcome. The result is the same from an external point of vue.
Let's take the same example of relationships : a love based thinking person would interact with other people because he/she loves them, and maybe also because he/she WANTS to interact with them. It is a positive reason, there is no "NOT TO" or "DON'T WANT TO" in their motivation, but that is probably difficult to believe if you have a fear-based thinking. Positive + positive = positive.
As we can see it all comes down to the belief about why we act the way we act. Is it to prevent us from negative outcomes and from pain (fear), or is it because we want to build, to create, to have some positive things happening (love).
The end result is the same.
ps : I am trying to improve my English
