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 destroy them. ↗

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Often, love is a tangled web of lies that only a broken heart would weave. Seldom is dishonesty the whole person, rather it's the pain. ↗
