He says love is internally based. It's a feeling you largely choose to feel, that you can large turn on and off easily. Love is fickle. It comes, it goes.

Fear is much more predictable and largely externally based. Lovers can fall out easily on a fast downward spiral whim; fear does not wear off if your base character stays the same.

But note the "if you can not be both." The highest way is to be held in love, esteem, and respect during daily life, with something in the back of a person's mind that if they do wrong by you, you'll be a source of hell and misery. That keeps wanton destruction and arbitrary betrayals in check.

I think love is stronger than fear. A commander loved by his soldiers will defeat a commander feared by his soldiers in almost all battles... but the feared commander is less subject to arbitrary chance. So, they both have value. 95% love, 5% fear is probably the best mix. But the 5% needs to be you unleashing the forces of hell with cold precision if you're turned against.

Jon has just paid his first mortgage payment. Which payment is he not required to make
Rufina [12.5K]

There are different ways of repaying (or repaying) a mortgage loan. The way depends on the periodicity of the fees (normally paid each month) and the variation of their amount over time (if they are constant, increasing or decreasing). Another potential option is to establish an initial period of denial, during which the capital is not returned only interest is paid, or nothing is paid.

Most often, loans received from credit institutions are returned through the payment of constant periodic fees (every so often, usually every month), in which amount a portion of interest and part of capital is included. This method of return is known as the "French system"
