Could it also be considered then that, The enemy of my friend is my enemy...

Be just another way of looking at it?
 Quoting: Seer777


Yeah, it sounds like another way of looking at it I think

If my friend has an enemy, and it is a problem and he/she asks for help, then i suppose it is now also my problem?

It seems to work that way in many aspects of society and personal and interpersonal relationships.

Even if the 'enemy' be just a group defined thought form.

Like say, opposing teams.

Fans of Team A group themselves as do fans of Team B.

If your friend likes Team A, then you are more likely to also like Team A, often due location, and in that hold a common force you oppose.

Bit of a rough example. Hope that makes sense.


Gang wars of the 90's Bloods/Crips come to call as well.

Us vs. Them essentially.

That's a good example

Team A vs B, or Bloods and Crips

you could be killed(and many have been) for wearing red in a Crip neighborhood even if you weren't a Blood and vise versa. It just doesn't make sense. Even if he was a Blood, he didn't even know the guy most likely. They could have been best friends in another place and time

Yes. Exactly.

How do we as a species make snap judgement of 'enemy/friend' based on how others in our accepted 'head space' perceive the same?

In the above example it was based on Red/Blue.
