I used to work in a kindergarten, there fear can be a VERY powerful ally
And it works when the kids are being more than usual difficult to control
But love is actually best, because if I could get them to respect and like me I would get more obedience from them, but fear was sometimes necessary!!
That doesn´t mean I liked being feared, I think it takes something away from you if it isn´t in your basic personality
in general, I like being liked....and I hate being feared, despite what some might believe, there actually are people who are afraid of me without reason!
I don´t feel all to good about that
