Discourses on Livy
Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Does a healthy society suppress conflict, or does it progress through it?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Watching Machiavelli, whom I had known only as the cold strategist of The Prince, transform into an ardent champion of the republic, I was struck with fresh astonishment. He argues piercingly that the fierce conflict between the nobles and the common people was, in fact, the very force that made Rome great. How healthy conflict and checks safeguard liberty, his sharp insight fits today's complex society with a frightening precision and sent me into deep thought.

When friction arises with someone who disagrees with you, don't bury or avoid the conflict. Face it as a healthy path toward a better conclusion.
