Us and Them

"We will confront our enemies for crossing our fork, but approve of friends that lick our plate clean." -British saying

It is shown that humans have a tendency to put people in categories, "us" and "them" and that the same actions that we condemn "them" we not only forgive, but often approve among "us."

Perhaps our goal should be to question our tendency to condemn, and offer forgiveness even to "them".
