Sounds like us-vs-them mentality to me honestly.

The title doesn't say be naive. Emotions can be an important tool in curing division and hate, as much as they can be misused to create it.

If you can only feel your own feelings you are definitely not feeling enough. Try to understand those you hate?

That said, I realize that is probably hopeless, but so is getting the same people to think.
