In the this video by former CIA undercover officer Amaryllis Fox, she points out two simple truths that she thinks her work has taught her:



Everybody believes they are the good guy.

and

The only real way to disarm your enemy is to listen to them.

It's a strange human phenomena but everyone believes they're the good guy or maybe not so strange as we get to learn more about what it means to be human.

I am sure both American republicans and democrats think they are they are the "good guys".

So do UK Brexiteers and remainers.

And, everyone else across the "human divides" of gender, sexuality, religion, politics, race and more.

We need to take Amaryllis's advice and start talking with each other, listening to each other and understanding each other better, rather then seeing each other as enemies.
