Law 12: Observance of the Law

Law 12, use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victimjudgment. One sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of dishonest ones. Open hearted gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most suspicious people. Once your selective honesty opens a hole in their armour, you can deceive and manipulate them at will. A timely gift, a trojan horse will serve the same purpose. Never depending on an emotion as subtle and changeable as love or friendship will only make you insecure. In fact, he may resent and fear you. But as machiavelli said, it is better to be feared than loved. Fear you can control.
