Yes, it is recommended to close your window during a thunderstorm for safety reasons to prevent lightning strikes and to keep out rain and debris.
According to Thomas Hobbes, men become enemies due to a natural state of competition, diffidence, and desire for reputation. This competition arises from the constant pursuit of power and self-interest, leading individuals to see others as potential threats to their own well-being. In the absence of a common power to keep them in check, individuals continue to view each other with suspicion and hostility, fueling enmity and conflict.
Yes, sharks do sleep, but in a different way than humans. Sharks do not have eyelids, so they cannot close their eyes while sleeping. Instead, some sharks have to keep swimming to keep water flowing over their gills for oxygen. This is called "active rest." Other sharks can rest on the ocean floor or in a cave while still moving water over their gills to breathe.
The recommended lightning position for squatting during a storm is to keep your feet close together, crouch down on the balls of your feet, tuck your head, and cover your ears to minimize the risk of being struck by lightning.
Heat generating clothes provide additional warmth by using special materials that trap and retain heat close to the body. These clothes often contain technologies such as infrared heat or thermal insulation to help regulate body temperature and keep you warm in cold conditions. The benefits of heat generating clothes include increased comfort, improved circulation, and enhanced performance during outdoor activities or in chilly environments.

It means that you should keep your friends close because they will help you and protect you and give you advice. But you should watch you enemies even closer than you friends so you know what they are up to. It dosent mean you have to be friends with your enemies.You should have nothing to fear from your family and friends, but to know your enemies, where they are and what they are capable of is by far better then being surprised in the dark...You don't have to be friends with the enemy to know their capablities.
Quote "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." is from Mario Puzo's famous book "The Godfather"

Machivelli says that in The Prince.
We should keep our friends close because they encourage us to always keep moving ahead whereas we should keep our enemies closer as they keep telling us about our weaknesses and faults which enable us to correct them and not repeat them again.
noAnswer:That's, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." But, I think it's the philosophical thread of the Mafia... not the Bible.
This means that you always want to keep your friends close to you because they are people you can trust and rely on. The second part of this means that your enemies are always going to be out there seeking to harm you so you want to keep an extremely close eye on them in order to make sure that they are not going to hurt you. It was none of the above. It was Jock Ewing that made this statement. JR once said ''My daddy always said, keep your friends close and your enemies even closer''.
