    "Do not expect respect, and you'll know no pain"
    Marcus Aurelius.

    • @BboyKeny
      @BboyKeny 3 роки тому +110

      @José Flores Marcus Aurelius hammers on about that you should only focus on what you control which are your thoughts and actions. It means that you should only care about that you are behaving in a way that earns you your own respect.
      "If you learn that someone is speaking ill of you, don't try to defend yourself against the rumours; respond instead with, 'Yes, and he doesn't know the half of it, because he could have said more'."
      "When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you."
      "Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All of these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill... I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together..."
      So basically, you shouldn't care about whether someone respects you or not, that's their thing to decide. You have only care about how you behave and what you think.
      Which he says with these quotes
      "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."
      "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
      "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
      "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."
      "If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it."
      "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."

      This is my philosophy also for decades. I am not religious, but I follow God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Yep, I don't expect to be treated nicely or respectfully by anyone, because you never will know what's in the mind of humans. I treat a human according to how I want to be treated and all humans know good treatment from bad, good people from bad, good workers from bad, it up to them how long I stick around.

      @@klowen7778 True its just a tempting path to take.
      I'm not sure if this applies to everyone but I assure you good people get joy/pleasure/happiness from being good.However good people also have a need to hold themselves to high standards.
      So if a good person is kind,virtuous ,merciful etc but no one is helped from them in the thoughts of good people its normal to question how is such a person any different from a selfish one in the eyes of a good person.
      After all in the end both people ignore the suffering of others for their own happiness.
      Therefore since good people have self sacrifice tendencies they'd rather sacrifice their own morality and bear the guilt to help others.Then since they think that the guilt is reducing the efficiency at which they help others they choose to justify their actions and try not to feel guilt to increase the efficiency of helping others.
      People might think that people that choose to commit atrocities in the name of the greater good think of themselves higher than others when in truth it comes from one putting oneselves below others.

      This is not a summary of Machiavelly but a simple demonstration that you have failed to understand anything. The point is that Machiavelly was not advising anyone to be evil when not needed but he was advising to do bad thing when neccesary so even to harm innocent people if you need to do so to win a war. So reserve honor not for the honorable but for when you can afford to do so.

      David Arnott your explanation may be in good will and somewhat in line with ideas in the video, but it is definitely not an accurate summary of the ideology. The point is fulfill your duty as a force of goodness, by whatever means is clearly necessary - including forgoing what one's reservation for goodness is entirely, but while still maintaining one's willful sense of good in any situation. Easier said than done for many people. Being good is easy; one needs true cunning to do the right "morally-wrong" things in the name of good without mucking it up.

    I only stopped being a victim when I learned five things very late in life:
    1) People will instantly manipulate you without conscience if they think you're a "nice guy". And women will subconsciously test you to see if you're a "nice guy" (i.e., a rejected prospect who can't protect them) or a good man, who is capable of protecting them, by trying to bully or manipulate you. Even the "nice" girls will do that. How do you pass this test? By being willing to stand up to them, and saying "No", and being willing to walk away, without being an asshole about it and without looking back. Eventually, if you Ever had a chance with them, they will come back to you, as you have proven you are capable of standing up for yourself (and thus capable of standing up for them). Women may be completely unconscious they are even doing this.
    2) Learning how to be instantly willing to give someone a bloody nose without guilt, if I need to. After I learned how to do this, I stopped needing to actually do it, as potential bullies sense you are willing and capable of doing it.
    3) Everyone is a potential bully. Including you. It's just a human fact of survival. Always be aware of that fact, and be willing to check it in yourself and others, even if they're someone you love.
    4) Stop being a "nice guy". You're being a nice guy because you expect to be rewarded for being a nice guy, which is hypocrisy, and women hate that. A "nice guy" is actually a hypocrite, because he expects a reward for being "nice". Women know what you're doing, and will never reward your niceness, but are willing to take advantage of you in every way and feel they are justified because you're being "nice" for false reasons (i.e., in order to get something from them).
    5) Stop needing approval from anyone. The people who have the most given to them are people that need other people the least. People sense a person in need, and it automatically repels them, because they think you have nothing to give. If they sense you have no need of them, they automatically are attracted to you, because they think you must have a lot in your life not to need them. This is why you see so many women devoted to real bastards that have nothing to give, because they at least don't seem needy.
    You don't actually have to Be a bastard. You just have to be capable of being a bastard without guilt, when confronted with bastards. And you have to learn to recognize bastards, conmen, grifters, etc., so you can protect yourself without guilt.
    I think that is the point that Machiavelli was making.

We ascribe a lot of high qualities to lions and I don't think it's a healthy ideal to strive for every day. No matter how amazing the view is, it's lonely at the top. No shame in being a lamb if you know when to be a lion.

    • @MishTheMash
      @MishTheMash Рік тому +3

      ​@@joshi897 ...If being a lamb is so good, then why strive to be a lion at all? Surely living by example is the litmos test to what is of real value?
      My point was that: lambs are lambs, they spent so long 'being lambs' that even if they tried they could never 'become a lion'. That's kinda the point of the video; it's better to be feared than loved, but if you can be both; and that we often use virtue as an excuse for weakness.
      I suppose I would rephrase Chappelle's words to be: You don't always have to be the Lion that you are, sometimes you can lie down with the lambs.

    Actually what some people think was a defeat on the cross, was actually the bigges vitory ever: "He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross." Colosians 2:15. And in another portion of Scripture says "if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame. Believe here it means not just trust in him but also give your life to him through repentance.

    So many people get Machiavelli wrong. Machiavelli is all about situational action, not about keeping a constant rulers personality. You should be nice when the situation calls for it, and you should be ruthless when the situation calls for that too. Machiavelli would never advise you to be "machiavellian" as the word means today all the time, he would say that in some cases that would make sense, others you should be as nice as Sanata. He simply was trying to introduce "relativity" into politics that older classical philosophers who believed you should always be good or riteous didn't understand.

However, Donald Trump can be a nice-guy depending on the circumstances. He is a nice-guy whenever he associates with people who want what is good for America.

    I'm paraphrasing Jordan Peterson: Let's not confuse being harmless with being virtuous. If you're too weak/scared to do damage, you are not virtuous, you're just harmless. If you're capable of doing serious damage and you're a force to be reconned with, then you can be virtuous by not doing damage when not necessary. If you are harmless, that's the problem you should be solving. You need to grow teeth, otherwise you're just going to grow resentful as the world runs you over.

    I remember this scene from the Castlevania netflix series, where Lenore, a vampire diplomat visits Hector, a human captive in his cell and tries to establish a connection with him by being kind and generous. At some point he manages to get a hold of her throat and threatens her, to which she invades his cell and beats the shit out of him. And then she says,
    "I am a diplomat Hector, i make peace. I make peace, and because of that people think i am soft, people think i am weak. You won't make that mistake again, will you?"
    She is genuinely interested in helping him, she is light hearted and kind but won't hesitate to use violence or anything else when necessary. Always good to see these sorts of depictions in media considering that's what most people expose themselves to, hopefully we can all pick up on those underlying principles that permeate characters like this.

Wisdom is not to look for luxuries but live a creative and loving live if in contact with others - fine - if that´s not possible stay aloof and reclusive.

      The point he made was simple. Be nice if you want. But don't be too nice. That means mix in a little bit of a dickhead into that niceness every now and again. Apply the same methods your enemies do, because apparently, end justifies the means.
      Truth is, there is about enough nice people that you can number them on your fingers. The regular number of fingers, not the genetic Yankee defect number of fingers.
      Putting yourself first means being selfish. Being selfish isn't being nice. He was saying don't be nice all the time.

    The problem with Machiavelli's principle is the underlying assumption that being successful in a temporary world is meaningful. Arnold Schwarzenegger's muscles were finely tuned when he was young to only have them wither. Building a statue to our hero's, only to have the Sun eventually destroy it. The work done on Earth ends up being in vein. The choice then becomes, in a vein world, is it better for all living things to live peacefully, dignified, and kind, or unleash the Hitler.

      This is exactly what I've determined at work. More than one job supervisor told me I need to be more of an a-hole. I've had a business partner that was only proud of me when I cheated a customer. An older co-worker said that if he had to change fundamentally who he is to keep a job, he'll find another one. I've embraced that and it has served me better than having short-term success and thinking only of myself.

      Look, watch the video again, and again. Then, you will get the point that is being made. The world will at some point make the nice guy confront a Hitler-like person. Only then, will the overtly nice guy realize that in order to stop this force of evil from conquering the world (which is also "vein"), he needs to become either as or more malicious than the evil force in order to preserve peace in a "vein" world. Vanity is the banalest of reasons not to do something. That means we should still be living in the stone age because every progress made to date is all futile.

      Essentially there are no morals in war, the Machiavelli principle doesn't apply, and it wouldn't matter even if you did apply it, since it boils down to utter survival, where the ends is death.
      Machiavelli was addressing political, business and personal lives, in how better to succeed rather than fail. He reasoned the end results justifies the means, he never mentioned war nor did he even imply to use it during war.

    Here is the tragicomic story that had taught me this lesson:
    I had this neighbour downstairs who would listen to techno music all day long, louder than you could ever imagine! And if there is one thing on earth I would pay a fortune for, it is SILENCE and there was absolutely no more silence and peace for me at home. It was a nightmare.
    So one day I knocked at his door and said:
    -What can WE do about it? Could you use headphones may be? And if you don't have headphones can I buy you one?
    He said, oh yes you can. And he told me about these fancy wireless headphones he would like to have. So the very same day I went to a store and got them for him.
    A couple of days had passed. And the music got back. The worst thing is that you not only hear the bass, but the floor under your feet vibrates all the time...There is no way you can concentrate on anything...
    So I went downstairs again. He asked me if I had wireless Internet connection. I said yes. So he said:
    - Oh so you can give me your password and I can use it too.
    So I DID give him that password.
    The music got a little lower the following days, but it was still really loud!!
    He said he was using the headphones, but of course not all the time. And now he was using my Internet connection too!
    He also asked me if I could give him free guitar lessons. And once again I said yes!!!
    Well this is really as stupid as you can get in an obsession of solving any problem in a peaceful, generous and kind way. It is not only stupid and ineffective, but it is definitely PATHOLOGICAL too!
    So despite everything I offered in return, nothing has changed. Then one day, a friend of mine came by. It was very late at night when the music started again. I said to my friend:
    - You see this is what I mean...
    My friend stood up and jumped on the floor three times!
    This is an old building and it sounds like an earthquake if you do that.
    And the music stopped immediately!
    My friend achieved in THREE SECONDS what I couldn't achieve in six months with all the kindness I could imagine to offer! And the saddest thing about it is that even if I lived here for a 100 years, it would have never ever occurred to me, to jump here to show how angry I was. Such a solution was "out of my imagination".
    I wish I knew Machiavelli back then...I am really NOT happy to have learnt this lesson. But unfortunately we must sometimes force ourselves to speak a language that we don't want to speak, if it is the only language the other person understands. Otherwise we will never get our message across...

I know it is hard to be an asshole, especially if you were raised not to be one. My mom was not that religious but she was totally into jesuschrist, because he was said to be a gentle person, helpful, empathetic, not mischievous, honest etc. She gave, she avoided conflict, she cared. And all she earned was being criticized, being taken advantage of (money, time, work etc) bullied, reputation murdered (those who did bad things blamed her to do the very same, which is rubbish). And now, when i look at egocentric people, who deceive, manipulate, who are populistic, they are cherished, and some even did not a single good deed. What does it tell you? Those who are taken advantage of do not love themselves enough to cut off contact to trash or set boundaries. And if you like yourself enough, even if it is narcistic, you will be liked, loved and be well respected.
