I’ve been thinking about that scripture, “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy,” and about the conundrum of one’s enemy being their neighbor. Perhaps there’s a priority suggested in the order. “Love your neighbor” comes first, not “hate your enemy.” It could be that the scripture is suggesting that if your enemy is close enough to be your neighbor, then you should love that enemy because he or she is your neighbor. It’d certainly make the Christ’s next step, “Love your enemy,” that much smaller.

Sombra was like, getting ROYALY screwed from the beggining. Why would he stay evil when some no good member of his race would just kill his GF then kill  
and overthrow him? All he wanted was revenge for the Crystal Empire’s and Equestria’s rullers’ negligence and the population’s prejudice. He got it and what then?

Interesting. That reminds me of something I learned when studying the Maori language, something that, I admit, appeals to me.
 
The Maori word for “friend” is “hoa.” The Maori don’t have a single word for “enemy,” but a two-word phrase, “hoa riri,” which, if I understand correctly, means “anger friend.” Assuming I do understand correctly, the phrasing suggests that the best way to make a friend of an enemy is to target and eliminate the anger.

“Repel evil with what is better; then you will see that one who was once your enemy has become your dearest friend.” (Quran 41:34)
 
Yeah, that’s what I say!
