No you got it right Ysome. You answer the last question to be asked, and then ask your own question. What I meant by that restriction, is say 2 people can't have a back and forth conversation for 200 posts. There needs to be 3 people at least rotating questions. Make sense?
Question: Is it better to be feared or admired, and are the two mutually exclusive?
What your morals would say, and what is genuinely accepted, is that being admired is the positive and therefore good way to be acknowledge. However, I believe the key to being a successful ruler, is to show that there is reason for people to fear you, and you will instill that fear when necessary, but continue your rule getting the public's admiration.
A book was written, by an Italian man who rose to power, something along the lines of the art of being a dictator. He wrote all about this. How you can kill someone, but you can't take their money. Cause destruction, become feared, but that will fade over time. Then, simply keep taxes the same and enjoy your rule.
