Is it better to be loved or feared?
I've seen too many people say they it's best to combine the two.. It's time to settle this here.

Niccolo Machiavelli answered this question in chapter 17 of "The Prince". See the short excerpt below: Side: Fear

I feel that respect and loyalty stems from a love, or perhaps a better term may be, a strong liking for someone. People who have to instill fear in others to have them carry out their orders/duties usually find that their minions will defect or rebel at the first opportune moment. A relationship which is founded on love and mutual respect will foster allegiance, honesty and trust. Side: Love
