Keep your friends close and your enemies closer


This phrase, often attributed to Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," suggests a strategic approach to dealing with adversaries. Here's a breakdown of its implications:

Understanding: By keeping your enemies close, you gain a better understanding of their actions, intentions, and potential threats. This proximity allows you to anticipate their moves and prepare accordingly.
Influence: Being close to your enemies might give you the opportunity to influence their decisions or at least mitigate the harm they can do. It could also mean you're in a position to negotiate or resolve conflicts before they escalate.
Psychological Warfare: There's also an element of psychological strategy here. Keeping enemies close can make them feel watched or pressured, possibly leading to mistakes on their part due to stress or paranoia.
Protection: On a practical level, having your enemies within sight can protect you from surprise attacks or betrayals. It's about managing risks by not allowing your adversaries to operate in secrecy.
Philosophical Insight: From a broader perspective, this advice can be seen as a call for empathy and understanding. Knowing your enemy well might reveal that they're not as different or as malevolent as you might think, potentially leading to reconciliation or at least a better understanding of their motivations.

However, this advice isn't without its caveats:

Trust Issues: It's crucial not to confuse closeness for trust. The strategy requires vigilance and a clear boundary between observing and trusting.
Ethical Considerations: There's a fine line between understanding an enemy for strategic gain and ethically questionable practices like manipulation or deceit.
Personal Impact: Constant vigilance and the stress of dealing with enemies closely can take a toll on one's mental health and well-being.

In modern contexts, this saying might apply to business, politics, or personal relationships, where understanding all parties, even those you oppose, can lead to better outcomes or at least inform your strategy. Remember, though, this is advice tailored to a strategic mindset; in personal life, fostering positive relationships and maintaining integrity often yield more sustainable benefits.

The military is withholding the name of the female helicopter pilot. This is totally unacceptable. The helicopter was involved in, and may have actually caused, one of the worst airline disasters in American history. We have a right to know the names.
