Answer 1

Machiavelli views Fortune as the compendium of all  circumstances regarding thegood outside of oneself, or the sum total of all mobility in human affairs. His analysis of Fortune is a rationale of the balance to be maintained between the mobility

of human affairs and the ultimate purposes of humanity on this earth, which is the survival of the state as an organism.

Machiavelli's views are centered on the realities of life as they exist rather than on any theological concept of eternal life. There is a conflict between the forces which preserve the organism and the forces which would tend to disrupt it or r****d its development, namely between virtù on one side and fortuna on the other. Virtù is considered as the life strength of a state;

it is the organized energy which propels the state.

Everything in life is in a state of mobility, not only external goods and their possession, but events themselves. In the Machiavellian concept of reality everything is bound to the wheel of Fortune, which symbolizes constant, inexorable change. Control of this mobility can come only through knowledge of the laws regulating it. Therefore, knowing the time and order of things is the best guard against the power of Fortune
