Do Not Build Fortresses To Protect Yourself - Isolation Is Dangerous

This is the law of power number 18. Do Not Build Fortresses To Protect Yourself - Isolation Is Dangerous. Yes it is right, the power man always prefer to life around or within his colleges rather than isolate self. As we can draw lesson from story Observance of the Law, below:

King Louis XIV recognized the importance of always keeping his eyes and ears on everyone and everything around him. He built a palace in Versailles where all the nobility could keep apartments near to his. He knew that if he were to isolate himself for one moment, conspiracies would rise behind his back. The daily activities all revolved around the king, leaving no one unnoticed, hundreds of visitors and attendants were always present. There was not very much privacy for the king and he preferred this life to one of isolation.

We can take these wisdom from this law:

A fortress may be impregnable, but everyone knows you are there and it may easily turn into a prison.
Power depends on social interaction and circulation.
Isolation is deadly for the creative arts. Shakespeare was always producing plays for the masses. He was in constant touch with reality and what people wanted.
Mobility and social contact protects you from plotters.
