This interview about writing -- with Stephen King and the "Left Behind" guy, of all people, got me a little choked up. Not at the stuff about writing, but at the respectful, ecumenical (if that can apply to a religious person and a pantheist/atheist/something) tone of these two men who clearly admire each other even though their work is, shall we say, aimed at different people.

I took from this an admonition to find the good in my opponents, and to focus on similarity over difference.
