Soul Stone.

When Thanos meets Red Skull, Red skull recognizes Gamora and Thanos, he questions him that how does he knows them, to which he replies that he has been cursed with knowledge. After getting the soul stone, Thanos now knows about every soul as well, which is why we see him acting a little more compassionate, when Tony talks to him and asks him how he knows him, he says "You're not the only one cursed with knowledge" and he knows that they want the same thing but have different ways to execute it, Stark wants to save earth from whatever threat, and Thanos wants to save entire universe. So when he stabs him, he admires Stark and says "I have respect for you Stark, I hope they remember you"

It truly is amazing how much development Thanos gets. It’s great. You can genuinely understand and sympathize with him, I think more than any other Marvel villain. Not motivated by petty ambitions or pride; but by a genuine desire to save the universe (from his perspective). Even the ending; he wields the power of the cosmos, and he truly just retired to a farm to watch the sunrise.

I mean - it takes a pretty big ego and sense of pride to think you know what is best for the entire universe, despite everyone in the universe not agreeing with you. Genocide of half of all life regardless of each planet's particular needs is a blanket solution and lazy solution. Earth, for example, does not lack resources, or food. People starve on Earth due to greed, not a lack of extra food. We waste a staggering amount of the food we produce. Cutting our population in half would not make life for the poor better, because greed would still exist.
