Would you rather be feared or respected by others?
Superb Opinion
I feel that there are two routes to gaining people's respect Strength of heart/ mind, and strength through fear. To fear someone is to have a healthy respect for them. A dog respects you because you have power over it. A dog that doesn't see that is a dog which is unruly. And that also applies to children. And it also applies to the general public. Without the rule of law we would have chaos. Growing up when and where I did I recognized fear as an important component and important tool to keeping myself safe on the street. Its why I dont respect just anyone. I only respect those who have earned my respect or those who have the power to hurt me.

If I had to pick one, I'd rather be respected. More opportunities that way and people who are against you are easier to deal with when they don't know to be afraid of you and you're respected.

I don't know why feared but fear is truly the best drug you can have. Knowing someone is under my feet and can easily be sleeping with the fishes if they wanna be a hero.
Beautiful feeling.

I would say both... sometimes you have to be feared and sometimes you need to be respected... it depends upon the type of person you encounter

Fear only belongs to the lord Jesus Christ alone since He is the Great Almighty One, not mankind who will die and rot in the ground.
I'm all about my respect though. I won't tolerate disrespect from no one. - s
