Me obligaron a leer "El Príncipe" (Nicolás Maquiavelo, 1513) y descubrí para qué existe la autoridad.
Since a ruler has to be able to act the beast, he should take on the traits of the fox and the lion.
Those best at playing the fox have done better than the others. But you have to know how to disguise your slyness, how to pretend one thing and cover up another.

This lukewarmness arising partly from fear of their adversaries, and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have actual experience of it.
Cambiar es natural. Lo hacemos al creer.
