Ruler
I believe that a ruler should be fear but also loved. If a ruler is only feared it will spark a rebellion driven by hatred. There is no reason why a ruler needs to kill people to keep their reign. I think that there needs to be enough fear to have respect. Although, I believe that it is also important to be loved. If the people love you and believe that you are doing a good job as ruler they will want to continue. It's important to know the surrounding land, and it's advantages and disadvantages. This is because in case of war you will have the upper hand on your opponent and you will be able to insure better protection to the country. I don't think it is necessary to carry around a weapon. People should see their ruler as a stern, and strong person but not violent. You have guards and security to protect you.

Although I agree with the premise, it is very difficlut to be loved and feared at the exact same time. I believe that a leader should evoke fear but still have mercy on his ppl.
I think that a leader today should be feared and loved. If a ruler was loved by everyone there may be a lack of respect for that leader. Don't get me wrong, fear is not the only way to gain respect however those feared usually have respect because people don't want to challange them. A leader who is solely feared will not get very far however because most people want to comply with someone they agree with and if they don't agree with the leader it may cause the people to revolt. They will not revolt against someone they love and agree with. There has to be a happy medium between the two emotions.
