Birth of Compassion brings Death of Enemy

From Thich Nhat Hanh in Taming the Tiger Within, Meditations on Transforming Difficult Emotions.
"When you begin to see the suffering in the other person, compassion is born, and you no longer consider that person as your enemy.  You can love your enemy.  The moment you realize that your so-called enemy suffers, and you want to help him stop suffering, he ceases to be your enemy."
