Ok, if you have read this book and have read the second law which is
"NEVER PUT TO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS, LEARN HOW TO USE ENEMIES"
Now if you read the chapter on that law i see a resemblense to the movie alexander......
Ok, now have you seen the movie Alexander where when he takes over i think babylon and goes there to be greated by everyone he enters the castle or temple of the king......then the princess comes and she is scared and wants her family to remain safe and untouched, so then alexander spares the life of her and her brother and even lets them remain in the temple and still have the title as princess.....NOW the brother i think he was an enemy at first, and then by sparing his life, and in front of him honoring the "enemys" dead brother and past king....he made him into a friend more loyal then anyone of his generals.....
do any of you agree with me?
i think the law in the 48 laws of power #2 is very true.....

The Godfather says Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I did not see Alexander.
The exception is that friends can make better scapegoats to take the blame for mistakes and misdeeds. After using your friends in this way, they might not want to be your friend anymore. It is best to only do this to friends who need you more than you need them.
I feel so cold after reading that book.
