In general, I feel that categorizing or comparing scales, regardless of their respective modes, does a disservice to the individual relationship everyone has with music. The music is only the language; the emotion is sent by the composer/lyricist, conveyed by the performer, and felt by the listener. Sometimes the listener feels more than the composer intended, whether that be because of the performer or because of the listener's experiences. I'm sure that everyone has songs that may not be inherently "sad" or "happy," but trigger strong emotions or reminders of the past to create that effect.
