When you get angry, you\u2019ve lost control. But if you can make your enemies angry, you gain an advantage. Rattle your enemies to put them off balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Principles<\/strong> of Law 39<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone gets irrationally angry at you, realize two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They will end up looking foolish, and will lose others\u2019 respect because they\u2019ve lost control. Their behavior is a sign of helplessness.<\/li><li>Their anger isn\u2019t personal\u2014 it mostly stems from past experiences. Rather than a personal grudge, it\u2019s an effort to punish or control you, which you can and should counter.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of getting caught up in someone\u2019s emotions, think calmly about how to use them. This is the key to Law 39 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-the-48-laws-of-power\/\">48 Laws of Power<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to deliberately trigger someone, either to demonstrate their instability to all, or to bait them to behave foolishly. There are numerous ways to do this, including mocking your opponent\u2019s manhood or injuring their pride or vanity. Stir up waters to catch fish. When they react, you can win easily.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Putting Law 39 to Work<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of how to apply Law 39 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-48-laws-of-power-about\/\">48 Laws of Power<\/a>: Losing control of your emotions may be the beginning of the end for you. Napoleon\u2019s decline began when he exploded at a meeting with his ministers over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/talleyrand-napoleon\/\">Talleyrand<\/a>\u2019s attempts to undermine him. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/talleyrand-napoleon\/\">Talleyrand<\/a> remained calm while Napoleon became increasingly unhinged. His meltdown turned out to be emblematic of the way his regime was beginning to unravel, and others saw it that way.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing your temper in an unhinged way may cause people to fear you at first, but fear soon gives way to disrespect and doubts about your stability. When you publicly show anger or frustration, you\u2019re showing powerlessness, like a child having a tantrum. When you expose weakness in this way, you\u2019re headed for a fall. Talleyrand knew how to stir up waters to catch fish. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethiopian leader Haile Selassie used an opponent\u2019s emotions to lure him into a trap. Selassie knew his opponent Gusga was plotting to oust him. To get control of the situation, Selassie insulted and angered Gusga to flush him into the open. Gusga marched on the capital as expected, but Selassie had persuaded many of his soldiers to defect, and Selassie defeated him. If you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/control-your-emotions\/\">control your emotions<\/a> while pushing others so that they lose control, you\u2019ll have the upper hand.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exceptions to Law<\/strong> 39<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there any exceptions to Law 39 of the 48 Laws of Power? Should you ever <em>not<\/em> stir up waters to catch fish? Before deliberately triggering someone, make sure you won\u2019t be creating a situation you can\u2019t control, or that will end badly for you.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, a concocted show of anger can benefit you, to bring someone into line. But if you use the technique too often, it will lose its effect. In general, follow Law 39 of the 48 Laws of Power: Stir up Waters to Catch Fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview of Law #39: Stir up Waters to Catch Fish Always stay calm and objective.
