Does this quote make sense?

" If you choose to rule with fear, make sure that it dose not turn into hatred. The man who fears is obedient, the man who hates is defiant." that's the gist of it, if not the exact words. Anyway does this make sense?

Update:

Does not dose.

  • Of course it makes sense. Basically what it means; If you rule, and people fear you, they will obey you. But once that fear turns into hatred, they will be provocative/stand-up against your leadership.

  • yes

    have you ever had a boss you hated

    or god

    those who fear a particular god, will do whatever or at least strive to do what they are told

    those who hate a particular god, will do everything within in their power to destroy everything about that god.

    from a translation of the teo te ching that may apply

    "when the master governs people are hardly aware he exists

    next best is a leader who is loved

    next is one is fear

    the worst is one who is despised

    if you don't trust people

    you make them untrustworthy

    the master doesn't talk

    he acts

    when his work is done

    the people say

    amazing we did it all by ourselves"

  • Yes, it makes sense

  • Yes it means basically if you terrorize your people they will hate you and defy you if u are a tyrannical ruler
