I would replace the word love with the word desire because love is such a vaguely defined concept.

If you perform this replacement then it’s easy. Desire and fear are the two most basic motivations we have. They are the same motivations that are possessed by the most primitive organism in existence.
This is because an organism’s survival instinct can be broken down into those two major forces - the desire to maintain a position in existence and the fear of that which will obstruct this desire.

So, with that view point, I think that people are equally motivated by either force. After that, motivation can only be judged at the situational level.

Make a poll.

and the answer is fear. Fear and Anger are the two strongest emotions.

Fear is among the most powerful of all emotions. And since emotions are far more powerful than thoughts, fear can overcome even the strongest parts of our intelligence.

Fear

 

[Geeedi]

Fear might be bigger motivator for short term like running away from enemy but motivation over longer period require love for your target for example fighting to become leader for 20 year requires you from you to love leadership and to maintain relationship for 40 yearS require love to overlook your partner’s shortcomings. Overal what counts is endurance rather outburst effort

Fear

 

[Nak Muay]

Love, 100%. But only Philia, Storge and Pragma.
Fathers don’t get up at 4am while the rest of us sleep in our warm beds because they’re afraid of their wife and children.
Also, you become pretty inoculated to shit you’re fearful of with enough exposure.

I’d say fear. Fear of poverty, fear of not reaching one’s full potential, fear of missing out, etc

Fear, desire isn't nearly as motivating. All organisms have a natural instinct to survive and reproduce. Survival is necessary for reproduction and so it is more motivating.

Sex

 

[Geeedi]

Somehow That makes sense. But I don’t thinks sex is same as Love. It may be part of love. In other words may be for zombies sex=Love
