@trigger.the.mind: Read below 👇 for full details 💯 "Machiavelli: The Higher You Rise, The More They Will Hate You — Let Them" Niccolò Machiavelli understood envy as an inevitable tax on success, not a sign that something has gone wrong. The higher a man climbs, the more those beneath him will resent the distance between where he stands and where they remain. This is not a flaw in your rise. It is confirmation of it. The mistake is not being hated. The mistake is shrinking yourself to avoid it. 🧠 Machiavelli taught that a ruler who seeks universal approval has already weakened his own position, because approval and power rarely belong to the same man. Nietzsche called envy the loudest applause mediocrity can offer — proof that you have moved beyond what others believed possible for themselves. Aristotle understood that resentment often says more about the man feeling it than the man receiving it. The Stoics taught that hatred from others is simply weather, and a man who governs himself does not rearrange his life to avoid a storm he was never required to outrun. 💯🔥 So the real question is — are you shrinking your ambition to keep the peace with people who were never going to celebrate your rise anyway? 🤔 Follow for more content that challenges how you think and how you live 👁️ Full breakdown in my eBook 👉 Link in bio 📖 #Machiavelli #Nietzsche #Aristotle #Stoicism #Philosophy
