Be wary of friends, they will betray you more quickly from "summary" of The 48 Laws Of Power by Robert Greene

In the world of power, there is a harsh truth that one must always keep in mind: friends can often turn into enemies faster than anyone else. This concept is rooted in the idea that those closest to you have the greatest potential to betray you. Why is this the case? It is because friends have more access to your vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and secrets than anyone else. They know where you are most sensitive, making them capable of inflicting the deepest wounds. Moreover, friends are often the ones who have the most to gain from your downfall. They may envy your success, resent your power, or covet what you have. This combination of knowledge and motive makes them dangerous adversaries. They can use the information they possess to undermine you, sabotage your plans, or even turn others against you. In this way, friends can become the ultimate betrayers, as they know exactly where to strike to cause the most damage. Furthermore, there is a certain level of trust and complacency that tends to develop in friendships. You may let your guard down around friends, believing that they would never harm you. This sense of security can blind you to their true intentions, making it easier for them to catch you off guard. In contrast, enemies are often more predictable and easier to defend against, as their motives are clear from the start. To protect yourself from betrayal by friends, it is important to always maintain a certain level of distance and awareness. Keep your secrets close, and be cautious about sharing too much with those who claim to be your allies. Pay attention to any signs of jealousy, resentment, or manipulation in your friendships, as these may be warning signals of potential betrayal. Remember that in the game of power, even your closest friends can quickly become your most dangerous enemies.
