you are right,while most people only act nice,looking for the eve rafter reward,it would make a big difference in the now world if,all people would not only respect each other but,the world we live in also.

Aw - aren't you a sweetie. It should be enough, and in a perfect world it would be, but unfortunately we live in an imperfect world full of bigots, warmongers - all the negatives you can think of.
I used to think that if people would open their doors and become more visible, and friendlier, and kinder, then that would be a start and maybe all that good stuff would spread.
Wouldn't that be great? But it never happened, and I don't think it ever will. If I knew where there was a neighborhood like that, I'd sell my house and move there!

That will never happen, because you cannot be good outside of God. That is why all through Bible history the people of God were always separate from the other nations and most of the times hated by them. The devil hates God's people and he will always try to destroy them so people will always have hatred for those who love and follow God's commandments and accept his son Jesus Christ. - Revelation 13 and 14

If everyone loved their neighbor as they loved themselves; the world would be a much better place.

In theory, yes. But unfortunately you have those that aren't working toward this goal. You also have those that believe they're working toward this goal, but their religion tells them they must convert others in order to "save" them, rather than "live and let live".

It should be but most people are too selfish to be nicer to everyone.

Yes, my philosophy of life. Don't be an asshole.
Don't need a book to tell me that.
