This betrayal was not just an act of sibling rivalry but one rooted in deep resentment. Joseph’s suffering—from slavery to imprisonment—highlighted the consequences of betrayal. Yet, his story diverges from typical vengeance; it sets the stage for a profound demonstration of "Crushing Your Enemy Totally with Love."

Commentary and Context: Joseph’s response to his brothers was not driven by revenge, which would align with Law 15 as described by Robert Greene. Instead, Joseph embodied a higher, divine principle: he defeated the potential for future conflict and guilt by choosing love and forgiveness. Romans 12:20-21 (KJV) echoes this idea: “Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” This verse underscores that love can defeat enmity more completely than destruction alone.
