According to Machiavelli, humans are pretending to be civilized, moral and good but at the heart of every human soul is a beast. An animal that only wants what it wants. We act like we care about right and wrong. We follow rules, show kindness, practice virtue. But that’s just a thin shell. Underneath, we’re animals focused on getting our desires met. The morality we display is just performance. Machiavelli says we should drop the act except when the act serves us. If being gentle gets you ahead, be gentle. If seeming trustworthy opens doors, seem trustworthy. But never actually become these things. The point isn’t to be good. It’s to be effective. To use whatever face works in whatever situation. Be ruthless when it helps, kind when it’s useful. and That’s just the honest truth about what humans really are beasts wearing masks that best serve our desire.
