He and others (even Francis Bacon), to get into the court, would write these books on little wise sayings to impress the king, queen or whoever the hierarchy happened to be, on their wisdom in controlling and manipulating populations, by understanding the mind (not of the whole population), but the minds of each person - because each person generally goes through the same process and they're pretty similar to other people.
Yeye na wengine kama Francis Bacon wangeandika hizi vitabu na misemo ya kufurahisha mfalme ama aliyetawala kuhusu ujuaji wao wa kutawala watu na kuelewa akili ya kila mtu kwasababu kila mtu huwa anapitia mwendo sawa na wako kama wengine.
