“The ones who fight each other because of their own beliefs are like specks of dirt fighting each other about the nature of their world, refusing to see that they are all in the same mud puddle on the side of the road.”
“Both sides so blinded by their fear and hate of each other that they couldn't see they were all fighting for the same thing.”
