Comments on: Is It Better To Be Feared Or Respected? http://www.jaredaxelrod.com/main/2008/05/14/is-it-better-to-be-feared-or-respected/ In The Nightmare Business Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:24:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Daecabir http://www.jaredaxelrod.com/main/2008/05/14/is-it-better-to-be-feared-or-respected/#comment-752 Daecabir Sat, 31 May 2008 03:21:33 +0000 http://www.jaredaxelrod.com/main/2008/05/14/is-it-better-to-be-feared-or-respected/#comment-752 What I found intriguing about IRON MAN was that they actually got the balance between spoiled rich boy and uber geek engineer almost dead on. That one man (or woman) can embody many, sometimes almost unrelated, characteristics is part of the theme that plays out here. That one can appear to have everything and yet still be insecure about where he truly stands in life (e.g., where he stands with Pepper) is another. So the question is, if a man who has everything is willing to put it on the line to do what is ultimately right even if it costs him everything, should we not aspire to the same?
