[Rule Of Law]

Do Not Commit To Anyone

Humans can be very stubborn creatures stuck in comfortable habits and thought processes. When we don’t question our beliefs we may find ourselves overly committing to one idea or philosophy as ‘the only truth’.

But only the fool rushes to take sides. Do not be quick to commit to any side or cause but your own. By maintaining your inner independence, you can become the master of others — making them even pursue you.

From an early age, Itachi considered different viewpoints and gathered knowledge on the history of shinobi. His level of intelligence and wisdom far exceeded those around him and made him an extremely sought after shinobi.

The point of this law is about self control. To never commit means you must never yield.

Lessons from Robert Greene blended with the life of Uchiha Itachi.

NB: Even if you succeed in gaining such self control, you can never control the temperamental dispositions of those around you. And this presents a great danger.

Most people operate in a whirlpool of emotions, constantly reacting, churning up squabbles and conflicts. Your self control and autonomy will only bother and infuriate them. Put them at ease with small gestures of support, but avoid engaging too deeply with their petty arguments because the conflicts can only multiply.

Indeed, to succeed in the game of power, you have to master your emotions.
