Answer:

When he has too much compassion, he is likely to slip into making difficult decisions

Answer:

A prince, if being feared or loved is desirable, Princes should be feared and adored at the same time, but this is a tough ideal to achieve. Forced to make a decision, it is far better to be feared than liked. This is because mankind, by nature, is "ungrateful, fickle, dissembling, anxious to flee danger, and covetous of gain." In times of faraway danger, they are prepared to take risks for their prince, but if the danger is genuine, they turn against their prince. It is easy to break a link of affection when the time comes, but the fear of punishment always works, no matter what.
