Divide and Rule Strategy Explained

A farmer threw a dead pig into a well,

and within a short time,

70 to 80 rats jumped into the well to eat it.

In the beginning, everything seemed easy.

The moment they saw food, they all rushed toward it.

But after eating,

they realized that the walls of the well were

so high and steep that getting out was almost impossible.

Slowly, the food ran out,

hunger increased, and that same place turned into a battlefield.

In the fight to survive, the rats turned on each other.

They started killing and eating one another.

And after some time, only one rat was left in the well.

Its eyes were red like blood.

Then the farmer lowered a rope,

pulled it out, and released it back into the fields.

Did the farmer feel sympathy for it?

Absolutely not.

The farmer knew that this rat had now become addicted to eating its own kind.

It would no longer eat grain.

Instead, it would hunt other rats.

And this is what divide and rule, or the divide trap, really is.

The people sitting at the top never fight themselves.

They simply create an environment where the people below are fighting each other and destroying one another.

Whenever two people fight each other,

the benefit always goes to the third person,

or to the one sitting behind everyone, controlling the entire game.

Understand this game,

otherwise you are also inside the same well.
