@.aliceangleo: Machiavelli: “It is foolish to play fair in a game where everyone cheats.” This means you shouldn’t be naive when dealing with people who lie or take advantage of others. You need to understand reality and protect yourself instead of letting others exploit your kindness. It doesn’t mean you have to cheat too. Dostoevsky: “Never let the corruption of others become an excuse for your own corruption.” This means that other people’s bad behavior doesn’t justify yours. Just because someone lies, betrays, or hurts you doesn’t mean you should do the same. Stay true to your values, even when others don’t #knowledge #philosophy #quotes #foryoupage #viral
First imagine a society where every citizen had Machiavelli’s mindset, and then imagine one where everyone had Dostoyevsky’s mindset. Decide which society you would rather live in.

Machiavelli’s mindset was meant to be for the prince, not for the rest of people.

The important thing is knowing with whom to apply each type of mindset.

Why not cheat? There is no such thing as hell so why should small moral victories even matter. If you aren’t cheating you are not trying to win

Machavelli was in times where even people on your side always try to one up you, intense political instability and foreign invasion.city states & outside forces eyeing for power. And one who lived in many years of prison camp. Two opposite sides of different situations

Hate to be a realist but someone is always playing with Machiavelli's mindset, you must as well to survive, not to live

people who play fair in a world where everyone cheats are fools. this ain’t like that “tortoise and the hare” story, “slow and steady” doesn’t win the race. the world is full of hares that don’t stop to rest. no way i’m gonna take something like this seriously when everyone else is breaking the rules. the one who uses whatever means necessary to come out on top is the one who wins.
