Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 22

कैर्मया सह योद्धव्यमस्मिन् रणसमुद्यमे | योत्स्यमानानवेक्षेऽहं य एतेऽत्र समागताः ||

kair mayā saha yoddhavyam asmin raṇa-samudyame yotsyamānān avekṣe 'haṁ ya ete 'tra samāgatāḥ

Let me see those who have assembled here, ready to fight — those whom I must face in the struggle of this war.

Arjuna asks to see 'with whom I must fight' (kair mayā saha yoddhavyam) — not in the abstract, but the actual faces. This one request will transform everything. When conflict is abstract — an ideology, a party, a group — fighting is easy. But see the individual faces (colleagues, family, people with their own stories), and everything changes. The verse teaches us: before any major decision that affects people, see the human faces involved. Making it personal changes everything.
