It’s interesting how the fact that a person has some minor similarity to you somehow endears them to you. For example, at your place of work or school, you may have some person who is constantly antagonizing you, constantly disagreeing with what you say. And over the course of years, your heart has calcified into bitter hatred towards this person. And then one day, you find out that like you, they use honey in their coffee. And your reaction to them is softened. You think, “when I finally break down and kill everyone in this room, I will kill you first and painlessly.”

The human mind is a curious thing.
