There's a quote (actually two) from my all-time favorite book; Ender's Game, that I wish more people would take to heart.

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them."

"Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be"
