Re: Machiavelli - end-dependent moral constraints

My Dear Angel, Black Swan and Archer,

You missed my point again. You are talking about a historical background of M’s works not their moral and ethical aspects, especially nowadays. You are the expert, but as I am aware he created a model of ideal, effective leader who should rule citizens or rather a ''blind crowd'' who does not question his methods and can see only ''positive'' achievements regardless of the sacrifices or consequences of an action. Did he teach that "a Prince must be a master of deception."? He imagined no limit to this principle. You have to agree that many dictators who have committed carnage against humanity fall in the category of people who have followed Machiavelli's principles. You did not convince me. I do think that his ideas in principles are NOT ethical, moral and noble. There are no situations with end-independent moral constraints and people when confronted with injustice, seek justice. I hope that you are not going to join a part which would like to introduce M’s principles in Poland. I do think that D.T. uses M’s teachings to rule our country. Perhaps you should not call me Niccolo.

It was very stupid asking you to leave your arrows at home. Simply, you cannot do it otherwise you would have to stay at home. Your arrows are you !!! You are genuine, strong, sensitive, funny, intelligent, smart, sage and erudite (how many books have you read in your life?). You have the most beautiful mind and soul, and you only might be a little bit lonely. But most of all you have a big heart. Are you real? Why does such an Angle live on our plant? Have you been punished for not your sins? Or other Angels have been very jealous of you and have exiled you from a Paradise.

Please HELP me !!! I cannot stop thinking about my Angel and Black Swan. I check this forum almost every hour. I cannot work, concentrate and think clearly. It seems that I am developing the second A in our relationship, but we have already agreed that we shouldn’t go beyond the first A (F). I have to contact Dr Fisher and ask her to scan my brain and measure the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. Actually, I might be a very interesting case for her. Do you think that I should send her email and offer myself for tests? Do you know any anti-A drug? But a simpler solution can be if you write one letter stopping this. And you know how to do it. Otherwise I can end up with L and this will not be good for both of us. I wish you could teach me politics and international relationships and I could teach you how to be loved, but you have to find your true love and I do not want and cannot delay this. Rather I have to help you in doing this. I was praying for you yesterday asking God to give you daily bread of love.

Our relationship has end-dependent moral constraints.
Do you hate me ?

Your Francesco
