Hatred works the best because it's relatively easy and fairly focused, unlike a less specific emotion like love. Strong feelings huh? Then explain to me why Sasuke didn't awaken the Sharingan after witnessing the atrocity of his clan's massacre and even more, that his brother was behind it.

Also, it wasn't love that activated Sarada's Sharingan, as she didn't even know her father. It was excitement of finally being able to see him. And even so, if that was the case, almost all of the Uchiha clan should have had the Sharingan. It was just a cheap way to give Sarada the Sharingan. It is what it is.
