He would do what he feels like doing, you idiot

Human rights will depend on the time, the conditions and . . . the circumstances. They will always be in step with the revolution and its principles.

—SADDAM HUSSEIN

In other words, there aren’t any.

The ruler of Iraq is only one dramatic example of the tendency of successful Machiavellis to do what they want to do and ask questions . . . well, never, actually. Frederick the Great of, what was it? Germany? Anyhow, his basic philosophy was encapsulated in his famous statement, “I have an agreement with my people. They can say what they want. I can do what I want.” He can be counted a liberal ruler because he didn’t mind letting people say what they want. Within reason, of course.

Doing whatever you want is necessary 1) for the establishment of your personal style and happiness, and 2) to get what you want. See? In this case:

Doing = Getting.

Put in mathematical terms, this boils down to: D = G2, where D is the amount of Doing (in energy units), and is equal to G, the amount of Getting, squared. It shows that any amount of doing results in an exponential amount of getting. If you’re doing all that, you might as well be doing what you want.

Absolutely doing what you want in all circumstances will also make others fear you, because they know that when it comes right down to it, you don’t give a shit.

And not giving a shit is big mojo.

Not giving a shit is made up of three parts:

Not being afraid of what other people think;

Not caring about their feelings;

Keeping your eyes on the prize.
