But, as an aside, God (if you believe religious books) is both feared and loved so I guess the answer to SouthLand's question maybe has to do with respect.
The world is cluttered with broken relationships that began in sweet LOVE and ended in bitter anger and HATE.
And all of this proves that true love, which is based in giving, not receiving, is pure and eternal, is never fleeting, and can never flip-flop into hate.
It’s just a shame that true LOVE—the only true reparation—is FEARED by most families and is hardly ever taught to anyone...
How can a feared person have any friends, or ones to depend on?
Friendships and relationships are important assets to anyone's life, but they require trust among each party. We are always interacting with others. Interdependence among others is essential to survive in this world. We depend on family to feed and shelter us. We depend on our government officials to protect our country. We depend on our friends and loved ones to comfort and encourage us. To a person of authority, a friend can be a good advisor who has their best interest at heart. Along with trust, true friendship consists of loyalty and honesty. Fear can make a person loyal; but if a person were feared by their friends, would his friends be honest with him? Of course not. Their friends would say and do things for him out of loyalty, but not out of honesty. If their honesty somehow violates the boundaries of respect, this would displease the ruler and he might subject to excommunicating his advisor.

"Even if LOVE is full of thorns, embrace it. For in between those thorns there is a ROSE that's worth all the PAIN."
So it's both nature and nurture then?

Loved. No-brainer.
it's better to be loved
I believe you are correct, it was tough times then in that part of Italy.
In the long run.. Its better to be loved..
Loved...at least you tried out of fear that you will not be loved back....
"fear not the dead...but the ghost of your past"
I knew you were a romantic at heart. Is that a smile behind your hand in your 'Avatar'?
I believe if you keep reading Macchiaveli he says it's better to be feared.
