"It is better to be loved than feared"

I believe that it is better to be loved than to be feared. I feel this way because if you are loved than you can have people to talk to and tell how you feel and about your day, but if you are feared you can have someone to talk to only because they are scared of you.

That is also a problem because if a person is scared of you and then you tell them your business they go out and tell other people your business and the whole time you thought they were your friend and now they are trying to take advantage of you since they know your weaknesses and strengths. If the person loves you it might be the same way but not as worse because the people they tell might already know what they are telling them.
