Choose one of the two

If you could choose only one of two:

 

To be feared

To be loved

 

Which of these would you choose?

We can make people fear us but we cannot make them love us.

Which would you choose if you had to choose one?

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam where feared.

Gandhi, Confucius, Socrates, St. Paul, St. Peter where loved.

All of the men above died… eventually… and in different ways. Some died in their beds naturally, were assassinated, committed suicide, and others were murdered.
