I believe these things you've mentioned are bigger than just emotions. 
They certainly involve emotions, but if I love someone, it affects 
things I believe about that person and ways I treat that person, not 
just emotions I feel. And in my book, lust usually involves some anger 
and lonliness, which are not 'positive' emotions.
