One last warning: Do not imagine that your master�s dependence on you will make him

love you. In fact, he may resent and fear you. But, as Machiavelli said, it is
better to be feared than loved. Fear you can control; love, never. Depending on an
emotion as subtle and changeable as love or friendship will only make you insecure.
Better to have others depend on you out of fear of the consequences of losing you
than out of love of your�company.
