One of the reasons why people think "crush your enemy totally" law is evil is because they only see enemy in human form. Eg. Make laziness, poverty, etc your enemy then that law will have a different meaning.

I was introduced to Robert Greene’s books by my oldest brother.. He let me have his 48 Laws of Power when they transferred him to another prison, he wasn’t going to be able to take his belongings so he sent me that book and a few others. Glad he sent it to me, the book is amazing. I’m still reading it, and then I bought the Laws of Human Nature. Looking forward to collect all his books. 🙏🏼
