It's possibly due to balance.
The ratio's are not equal (deliberately I think) lets call love positive and hate negative.
Nowadays the balance tilters a great deal depending on what 'we' do at any particular time in history.
For example during WWII it was pretty neg.
Originally Humanity followed a form of natural law.
A balance had been struck naturally as a microcosm of a Universal law of opposites.
A form of the 'as above so below' syndrome.
So we screw up arguably because we have to. It's a dynamic.
Without the screw ups 'we' according to some at least,
cannot evolve.
The question is one of those that even books cannot cover as it is the generalised why of it all and I still think its unanswerable as we have not yet evolved enough.
Buit it's a great question because we all then chip in with our views.
I'm pretty sure at least that the answer is not 42.

People just don't see what they are doing wrong. People tend to go ahead without thinking of the consiquences that come with their actions, if people could just stop feeling ashamed or even humiliated in a way of being nice to strangers that surround them, with ofcourse being aware of different types of people in this world, I believe that it would really help in the way people treat other people.

All that love there is in the world is nothing compared to the love for self and own group.

you have two barrels,
one has wine, and the other sewage,
if you pour a cup of wine into the sewage, its sewage still.
if you pour a cup of sewage into the wine, it becomes sewage.
it only takes a little hate, greed, or any other evil quality to poison love.
one man who hates beats up a man.
that man was effected, his faimly his freinds, all effected.
a man who loves treats a man in a kind way,
he doesn't appreciate it, doens't remember it,

I guess you cant always be love'y or good. But more than anything we are human, capable of mistake, and I guess imperfection is the variety of life and all that. So we just have to take the bad with the good and do our best in life. ---- and most scew-ups can be fixed!

We all want love but noone seems to believe it exsists anymore. All we have to do is try making this world a better place, not wait for others to do it for us.

By its very nature, love gets you screwed up.

Because we opened Pandora's box and the only good we have been left with is hope.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE, AS IN THE DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS GROUPS. THEY SEAM TO FORGET THAT WE ARE ALL MADE THE SAME. REGARDLESS OF COLOUR OR CREED. MAYBE ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE ABLE TO LIVE IN HARMONY, BUT DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH WHILE YOU ARE WAITING.
