I would also go with compassion. Compassion becomes every other emotion as long as you add judgment of a particular flavor. Love is a needy compassion. Fear is a compassion combined with the judgment of danger for the self. Try it, take any emotion and take the judgment out of it, and you end up with compassion.
Compassion is like a direct emotional perception. You understand but do not judge. The judgment is conditioned in our first few years on the planet.
There's three important layers on which we need to become aware to be able to make a conscious choice, the physical intellectual and emotional. As far as the emotional level is concerned compassion is the only emotion that allows for practically undistorted perception.
It's not just me, all religions consider compassion the gateway drug to enlightenment or heaven.. Which is where they keep the heavy stuff.
If choice is not guided by compassion, it is guided by a distortion, a subconscious or conscious judgment.
