Fear is the most powerful tool.
Thats it.
Fear is the most powerful thing to ever control everything.
But.... you also need status. If you have no status, then that means you can easily be overthrown.
So...feared or loved? It depends on the context.
Personally, I rule with fear, because I was ruled by fear.
But, at the same time, because I have no cancer for the people leading me, theres nothing stopping me from rebelling. Theres no moral reason for me to not do it. Theres no personal reason to not do it.
So.... thats all I have to say on that. Like I said, it depends on the context, but yeah, thats all I have to say.
