"Let them hate me, so long as they fear me" - Caligula

They found that fool with 30 stab wounds. His neck was slashed, he was stabbed in the chest, his jawbone was broken with a sword, and then for good measure some even thrust their weapons through his genitals, before he was finally dispatched with the 30 stabs :demonic:

Make your friends love you and your enemies fear you. That way those who love you will be afraid to cross you and get on your bad side almost like a child behaves around its parent. They will try and win you back. Those who have no love for you and they are not making any attempts to reconcile then you are better off having them fear you.

Love & Fear are the cousins of betrayal. A woman who's afraid of you is liable to do something rash like kill you in your sleep. To be fair, a woman in love can do the same thing with no remorse. Honestly, fukk both options. It's better to be revered. I've never heard of anyone stepping up to a nikka that was revered by the people. It's like respect on a much deeper level. A good example might be the relationship between Kratos and Atreus in GoW 4. He would never step out of line because he deeply respects and admires his dad more than anything. Imagine being respected by someone so much that they will live, die, and kill for you.:banderas:

Women are all around garbage. Anyway being loved is the way to go. Women are not capable of love.

loved and contrary to popular belief, if you are loved, more times than often people will protect their loved ones out of devotion....

people will tend to turn on those who instill fear into them... just look at the past regimes who fell to those who oppressed them.

someone who loves you would probably put themselves in harms way or even die for you.
someone who fears you would probably put you in harms way and gladly watch you die.

The original quote is Love, Fear, Never Hated.
Machiavelli says fear is better than love because love is fleeting. Fear keeps people in line and powerless. Hate will turn everyone against you, even your enemies will band together to off you.

In modern times I'd agree; being loved is best, feared is second. You never want to be hated you'll get infamy but not much you can do with that.

The best would be to be necessary. Then people rely on you and your secure. But this is a rare situation.

Edit: or loved and feared that gets panties wet
