Maybe not, but probably.
Because that is human nature.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
I mean, obviously, the larger the group, the more the politics arrive, the more egos that are involved.
But even among two people, even in a couple, a married couple, power games are being played.
Oh, yeah.
You know, people feel like, well, you know, I'm having to do all the chores and you're not doing so much.
I don't feel like I have as much power in this relationship.
So you put two people together, it doesn't have to be a thousand.
You're going to get these egos clashing because that's who we are.
well um you know a lot of the laws that i talked about in the book are about knowing your limits like so law 47 i believe is in victory know when to stop right so you can go too far and when it becomes the fact
look power is is we're a social animal it's a people's game right if you offend too many people if you make so many enemies it's going to come back and hurt you in the end you're not going to get very far right so if you have this attitude where i'm going to screw everybody around me i'm just going to manipulate them i'm going to control them i'm going to push them around
You can get away with it for a while, while you have power.
But the moment that power stops, starts to diminish, we see this in history all of the time, you know, suddenly people turn against you.
You know, it caused the French Revolution, for God's sake.
You know, when people smell that a powerful person who's been evil and pushing people around is now in a slightly weakened position, oh my God, they all turn into lions and they pounce on you because they hate you, right?
You can go too far.
So power is a game of getting people on your side and they don't even realize why they're on your side, right?
That's the seduction part of the game.
But if you're pushing everyone around and, you know, we're seeing this in American politics right now, right?
