EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE SITE:

Hey! This blog is about asking questions that're on my mind or that people may ask me. These are not little questions really and they can have multiple answers so feel free to answer them as you see fit. The whole point of the site is to have people think about the world and the way things are. If you don't agree with something I've said tell me why with a comment (you have to have a google account), but please don't use that as a way to be obnoxious. Everything is pretty much up in the air when it comes to what you think and how you feel about something so I can't really set down any guidelines other than don't be too judgmental of another comment or of something I may have said.

Stay open-minded and hear people out. =]

Hope you enjoy and don't criticize what I'm trying to say too harshly. Although of course I'm open to criticism and debates. =]

Is: It Better To Be Loved Or Feared? (Asked By Cole)

This question (depending on the type of person you are) is very simple to answer...in a way.
If you are feared, no one will mess with you (at first), you'll feel like you're on top, and you'll also have a lot more enemies than you may realize. Though it may seem like you're in control, people will be plotting against you, they'll be waiting for you to slip up even the slightest bit, and because they fear you so much they'll be happy to be rid of you. Fear can make people do crazy things in life...Take all the horror films you've seen for example...Those people are scared out of their minds...And so, they do the stupidest things. To have people fear you can make them do pretty reckless things...to themselves...or to you. That kind of responsibility can be far too much for any person. Take Hitler for example. He had an entire race of people living in fear...he was killing them off...and how many people do you think wanted to kill him? Didn't people even try to assassinate him? And what happened in the end? He killed himself.
Being loved is the best feeling in the world. Be it by your family, your friends, or your significant other, it feels great. To have people love you makes you kind of whole. Though, no matter what there's always gonna be someone who dislikes you, and doesn't have your best interest, but there will be so many others who do. Ever heard the saying "Love conquers all"? I say that those are the most true words anyone could have said. You don't need fear to have a type of power...Love is more powerful than anything anyways...
But you tell me...Which is better?
