The Emotional Spectrum Is Sorely Lacking In Actual Emotions

It occurred to me recently that DC's emotional spectrum should really be renamed seeing as how most of the Lantern Corps lack any ties to actual emotions. For starters the most familiar corps, the Green Lantern Corps, derives their power source from will power. Will power is not an emotion, it's a character trait. The same could be said for avarice, the power source of Larfleeze the one man corps. Life and Death are states of being. In fact the only cores that are actually powered by emotions are the Red Lanterns, Sinestro Corps,and Star Sapphires. I'm wondering about including the Blue Lanterns in the latter group, but I feel that hope is abstract and hard to categorize. If I was forced to make a hard and fast decision I'd have to lump it in with the character trait groups.  
 
Anyways, what say you brethren? Should dc rethink this concept? If so what should it be renamed?
