Hi,
concerning Romans 12.20 my personal opinion about this is the way of wisdom, not to fight against your enemy, but against his inner hate and how to do. Or by choosing another sense of meaning, to help your enemy to overcome his inner hate to save HIS soul BEFORE his hate devours YOURS.

Reflecting at this statement, both sides of souls will not be lost. Instead of choosing the word „enemy“, as given in many translations, choose the word „the other“. Because your enemy (f.e. non-christian) might think that you are the enemy at him.
I am sure about this standing.

Both sides should recognize the fact, that variety is a gods sense!

I agree... In all strife and contention, those that revenge are conquered, and those that forgive are conquerors. We must learn to defeat ill designs against us, either to change them, or to preserve our own peace.
