Why is Machiavelli important to the Renaissance and history?
In his book, The prince,Machiavelli describes the proper orientation towards the volatility of the world, or Fortune, by comparing Fortune to a lady: "la fortuna é donna," or "Fortune is a Lady." Machiavelli is referring to the courtly love tradition, where the lady that constitutes the object of desire is approached and entreated and begged. The ideal Prince, however, for Machiavelli does not entreat or beg Lady Fortune, but rather physically grabs her and takes whatever he wants. This was a scandalous passage and still is today, but it represents a powerful translation of the Renaissance idea of human potential to the area of politics
Why do people, especially the poor, hate the rich?
Poor kids didn’t choose to be born poor, or to suffer. It is really an unfortunate situation. Poor people hate rich people because they are everything they wanted to be, not in all cases, but wouldn’t it be nice not to worry about bills. Everything is related to money. Do you want to straighten your crooked teeth? You need money. Do you want to go to a camp of some sort? you need money. Your friends keep inviting, and you really wanna have fun but you don’t go. Why? money.I know it sounds ridiculous, it is kinda stupid that the family doesn’t want to talk to your cousin because he got successful. He is still human being, rich people are human beings, but so are poor people. They get jealous, very humane if you ask me.Now about the comment that they are lazy. I find that very very insulting. There might be some who gave up after they tried very hard and couldn’t find a solution, but some work 2,3 jobs full time, part-time. Poverty is not just being homeless or not having anything to eat. Poverty can also come in other various forms. It could be someone who wears normal clothes like anyone else, has an apartment, like anyone else, but once they are home they see all the bills in the fully working kitchen.I am now writing this with my 6 month old laptop, bought with my scholarship money ( you can’t say that we all have bad grades), in my own bedroom, minutes after I have overheard my parents talking how our bank account now has 500 euro and we have a bill due within two weeks, my orthodontic treatment. And if I fail to pa it on time, I won’t be able (allowed) to step foot at that building. Is it my fault that we can’t pay? Is it my parents? Is it someone else’s?I still don’t know the answer, but poverty is a never circle. Very hard to get out of.I, now, begin to wonder how it feels like not to worry about all the stuff that one has to buy. Food, water, electricity, gas, rent,.. You don’t even have anymore money left to buy luxuries.So the point is, just be grateful if you have money and don’t look down at those who don’t.peace fucking out.
I tried to commit suicide and now I have a $386,000 hospital bill, what can I do?
I tried to commit suicide in November of 2010. I slit my wrists in the bathtub and I also took a sharpie and wrote "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" on my chest and on my arms just in case I was still alive by the time someone found me so the doctors in the ER would NOT try to save me. Anyway, I spent two weeks in the ICU, but after I physically recovered from the suicide attempt, they would NOT let me go home. I was placed on a 2 week involuntary psychiatric hold in the hospital's psychiatric ward. In total, I spent 4 weeks in the hospital and now have a ridiculous bill! I am a college student with no insurance and no job! How am I supposed to afford that?!!! I keep getting my bill in the mail from the hospital, and the last letter I received last week also contained a letter than said if I do not pay the hospital in FULL within the next 30 days my information will be sent to the collection bureau. What am I supposed to do??? I don't want the collection bureau to start harassing me. I've heard of people having their personal belongings taken away when they were unable to pay off severe debt. Anyway, I called the hospital and I told them they have no right to bill me because I did not give consent to be treated. They offered me a service that I did NOT want or ask for. I clearly wrote DNR on my body for the doctors to see and they did NOT respect my wishes. I attempted suicide so I OBVIOUSLY didn't want to be saved, so why should I pay for a service that I did not want? Is it possible that I can sue the hospital for this?
Why is Mukesh Ambani the richest person in India and not Ratan Tata?
A University of India said once…“INVEST IN RELIANCE & WORK FOR TATA"Mukesh ambani and Ratan TATA have very similar backgrounds, both did their MBA from one of the world’s top Universities.Mukesh did MBA from Stanford University. Ratan TATA did his MBA from Harvard University.But why Ambani is richer than TATA?Tata donates 66% to of their annual profit. 118$ billion was Tata group revenue of 2010 and Reliance industry revenue was 44$ billion.In India there is no industrialist other than TATA who have that will power to donate this much of profit to charity.Modesty is nature of Ratan TATA otherwise there is no one who could compete with Mr. TATA.Ratan TATA who made an almost insolvent company to succesful one (Jaguar & Land rover). He then introduced “Nano” in India so that economical weaker section of nation can also own a four wheeler.Did you notice that smile on Ratan tata face while launching Nano, that smile explain everything nano project was his dream project he himself said once in an interview.Recently TATA donated US $50 million to Harvard university.1000 crore for cancer patients on Diwali.Once in an interview Ratan Tata was asked why you are not richest person See mukesh ambani ruling market!TATA said, Ambani is a businessman and I am an Industrialist.Ratan TATA is following his ancestors' vision for this Nation.Ratan Tata: Not a billionaire on paper, but he is the richest person in the world.Harvard Business School Receives $50 Million Gift from the Tata Trusts and CompaniesTatas’ Rs 1,000-cr Diwali gift for cancer patientsEdit: Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments, suggestions, thoughts and upvotes.
