I've never been a fan of inspirational books, i think they usually discount the unique situation everyone is in and give advice that is inapplicable in some cultures and situations. But hell, i'm unemployed and bored so i picked up 48 laws of power after like a million recommendations. First i have to say i was impressed at the amount of history the author must have studied before writing the book, there were lots of interesting ancient history and folklore that made a me smile. At the end of the book i felt short- changed. The writer appeared so desperate to write something leftist in view that he ignored common sense and basic human decency and morality. How do you advice people to be so ruthless in their dealings, be unforgiving, bring others down on your way up and reward your enemies while suppressing your friends. This leads me to something I've been thinking. We only have more or less than a 100 years to live, whats the reward for suppressing others?, its not like there is an examination at the end of life where the "strong" pass on into afterlife college. i really do not understand the need to be remembered, the need for the continuation of your bloodline e.t.c. If everyone could just be satisfied with "enough to get by" i think the world would be a happier place. Speaking of which, communism vs capitalism. The human brain has a poor sense of equality and fairness, its almost impossible to fairly distribute resources equally, but if there was a way to do that then it is my personal opinion that communism is a better system of government. In the end, this is earth not Utopia so non of this matters.
