the enemy of my enemy is my FRIEND. Do you believe this?

Hi, aaronfyzeon! I believe this saying - "the enemy of my enemy is my FRIEND", at least a friend in need, if not a friend indeed. If we have the same enemy to fight with, I don't care to cooperate with anybody, the precondition is the cooperation is also good for me.

hi there,i completely believe it's totally dependent on human nature.Its seems logical that an enemy's enemy is our friend as simple as minus multiplied to a minus is plus.But that does not mean that you can make a lot through this.Remember the person who is your enemy's enemy may revolt against you as they have same character.This used to be serious issues in our childhood but matures do not go for it as it appears childish.Well strategically,Countries around the world look for such tactics..as India find Israel as its friend because Pakistan hate Israel but that does not mean philistine is friend of Pakistan. Another stats that can be added as: Is Friend's enemy is our Enemy???

Some people accumulate enemies. Perhaps some of their enemies might be useful allies but in other cases they are just as bad as each other.

This type of scenario is really common to typical Call Centers. I myself have been competing against other applicants but there's only one thing that I did that made me sit on the post - I proved my worth. It is through quality work and dedication that you will be lifted up. Not through what other people would say or do against you. People at the higher level would always see that. I love it when you said "healthy competition" as it shows that you're really a NOBLE woman. KUDOS! Keep smiling. Looking at a mirror near you should make you do. Stay nice!

yes almost similar except in college elections we did what he had to do ... befriended the opposite candidates arch enemy whom although we did not like in the end landed up getting a position of responsibility ..but to counter it .... we always had one of our guys looking into the way he was handling it .. it was unnecessary waste of resource but was a necessary sacrifice for us to win the election ..

No , i don't think that an enemy of my enemy can be my fiend. because i have recently experienced it. my enemy was my friend but due to some issues he became my enemy and his enemy was already my enemy before. i hope you understood what i mean to say. so there is no chance that your enemy of your enemy can be your good friend. hope you all like my discussion and i advise you to never make an enemy of your enemy your friend..

Hi, aaron. I often heard this in movies but sadly, it has also happened to me in high school. A lot of people dislike me so they just formed some sort of alliance just to put me down. They were quite successful but I remained silent. Maybe to the point that I just want them to have a taste the wrath of my silence. And whenever competition or war arises - this quote can often be heard. But I never want to be in a position wherein I would take such offer because most likely, betrayal will take place and the aftermath of that incident will not be so pleasant. Try not to stoop down to the level of the person. Just to be safe and I am sure that if the promotion is meant for you, it will be given to you. Good luck, my friend. And God bless you.

I don't normally say this, but that is stupid. I wouldn't accept anyone as my friend because they are my enemies enemy. I have high standards as to whom I select as friends and that isn't one of them. My ancestor's from both sides of my family came from Finland. During World War II, Russia was an ally of the United States. During World War II, Russia tried to invade Finland. The Finns were fighting for their survival against Russian aggression. Since the Finns were at war with the Russian's, the were considered an enemy of the United States. That is just as stupid as what you are saying.

well yes, its true in history and its true today. but i dont know if i experience a situation like this because im a peaceful person.

I have faced office politics while employed but not in the way you are mentioning.The saying enemies enemy is my friend though applicable in international relations could be applicable in office politics.But one has to tread carefully so that your prospects aren't marred or the person whose help you are taking doesn't turn against you.I didn't experience a similar situation while at work though there was plenty of office politics.

Well, not really that true. I mean, it could be 'the enemy of your enemy is your mother-in-law' or something. As for your case, it's always nice to work alone. That way, no one will have the chance to sell you out.

ahah yes i guess is true^^ if you hate someone and someone hates that person too you can be friends sure ^^ it has a logic actually. anyway im sorry that right now or you or that girl will be promoted. and someone that likes you more offered help to you^^ so it means that for him you are the best for the new job. so accept his support but dont do nothing that can make bad to the other girl. if you try to make something your boss can find out and then for sure the position wont be yours. so just do your work normally^^ show them that you work well and deserve to be promoted. pretend that you dont have no one competing with you^^ or else you can feel nervous and stressed and that will appear in the way you do your job. concentrate and focus in show a good job and you will see that they will choose you^^ who plays clean always win^^ and dont worry if she tries something against you sooner or later they will find it out ^^ so relax and work well^^

i hearing this before and some people who what get some promoted must like that coz we life for it but enemy of enemy is my friend just only said for some one who not want to bypassed

Well I believe in the situation enemy of my enemy is my friend as if you want to beat or make him feel that you are superior than him then you have to find his enemy and make alliance with them so that the battle become harder for him and at the end he has to except his defeat...
