Machiavelli observed that people are not guided by morality but by self-interest, staying loyal only while it benefits them and respecting others only while they need them; intelligent people therefore stop expecting permanent loyalty from temporary emotions, understanding that human nature changes when survival, desire, or advantage enters the picture.

Machiavelli Understood Human Nature PerfectlyHinzugefügt:
How true it was when Machiavelli said, "People are quicker to forgive the death of their father than the loss of their money because most humans are not guided by morality. They are guided by self-interest.
People stay loyal while it benefits them, respect you while they need you, and praise values they themselves would betray under pressure. That [music] is why intelligent people stop expecting permanent loyalty from temporary emotions. They understand something dangerous.
>> [music] >> Human nature changes the moment survival, desire, or advantage enters the room."
