Machiavelli: Cruelty vs.Mercy

Throughout this portion of the book of Machiavelli it goes over the need to be cruel in some cases as a ruler. In that balance becomes restored. Overlooking certain morality and not loosely being merciful. An overseen kingdom can be sought as weak being all to merciful in some cases. Creating conflicts and resentment from a cultural sense.

There’s a good reason for which there are laws and punishments. Because people are animals. Compassion and civility does not work with animals. You don’t want to be the recipient of punishments? Fine. Act like a human.
