Society, the common view, advertising, the media in general, the Internet… It’s a world gaping over fascinating images that hypnotize the mind, that instigate to search, to try, to take, to abuse one’s power, or to attack in order to get what one wants. It seems that aggression and competition have become the symbols of success. The current opinion about “success” appears in fact to be, “Whoever is left behind, is a loser”. If you don’t push yourself forward to get what you believe to be rightfully yours, you fall into the pit with the losers, with those who are meaningless, who count nothing, who have no personality, no importance. The aim justifies the means, according to the famous Italian philosopher, diplomat and politician Niccolo’ Machiavelli. Why? Because what really matters is to win, to prove that one is stronger than another.
