The sameness of two people perhaps makes them worse enemies than if they were diametrically opposed. In being like one another, they betray each other in the basest sense--by being constant reminders of the self. "Stop looking at my face with my own eyes. Stop seeing what I see." "I'm nothing like you. I am everything that you were, are, and ever will be. I will extend you. I will outlive you. And I will die with you."
