Friends to enemies, enemies to friends

Was watching Dragon Ball Super and looked over the cast of characters filled with enemies from the past that became friends.

I thought about what a wonderful reflection on the main characters that was, that they were able to heal from the wounds with these enemies and form lasting bonds.

Forgiveness. Atonement. Mending.

It is a beautiful thought.

Then I reflected on how little that seems to happen in real life.
Strangers become friends. But friends, once enemies, never seem to come back around.
Those we meet as enemies stay as enemies forever.

I'm sure there are exceptions to this, and I would love to hear your tales to the contrary.

Simply lamenting that we can't find more ways to lay our differences aside and forge friendships where enmity once persisted.
