I think this post is a better way to write it, but just something I had in my head:
You’re given an oppourtunity to kill a person. You can, but not have to, understand his views. It won’t be easy—but assume that this will be met, eventually.
Naturally, you’ve been dealt injustice. Or whatever misfortune happened between you and that person, something made you want to kill him.
But if you kill him without understanding his reasons and his motives, are you any better than them?
And if you continue pondering this, will you end up like Kiritsugu?

“Something made you want to kill him” has a similar vibe as “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
Especially if it’s about the past and not about prevent something in the future from happening.
I have.. no idea how’d you make that connection.
