It is better for a ruler to be feared than to be loved. love is held by a chain of obligation which men being selfish, is broken whnever it serves their purpose; but fear is maintained by a dread of punishment which neber fails. -it is not necessary for a leader to keep his word for often dishonesty is the best policy. -Since all men(human beings) are villainous and will not keep their word with you, there is no obligation for you to keep faith inthem. -A leader must learn not to be good -men(Zama indic case) are ungrateful, variable, fugitives from danger n greedy for profit. -It is necessary for a ruler to learn not to be good.-It is good for a ruler to keep faith when in power, but not always, for otherwise men will surely take advantage of you. -Thus Bad faith, lying, cruelity and assassination are acts not excluded by a leader in order to save the state. #NiccoloMachiavelli :) #OurSRC niyamva uthin lotata...
