Putting the differences behind and working to achieve something good for everybody is just not on the list, it's always "me and my people only".
If you ask me how wrong people are; I can tell you about Muslims who ignore this verse like it doesn't exist:
Quote:Sura 60, The Quran:
(7) Perhaps Allah may appoint between you and those of them whom ye hold as enemies affection. And Allah is Potent, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
(8) Allah does not forbid you from dealing justly and kindly with those who did not fight against you in the matter of religion nor drove you out of your land. Surely Allah loves the doers of justice (those who deal with equity).
So I can tell you that collaboration for a good thing is already a religious sentence I should live by; just like contributing to lowering the damage on Earth's atmosphere, or contributing to end the hunger in Africa and the whole world...etc.
But many humans don't do the good things; being selfish creatures, we prefer our own interest most of the time.
I would never trust human "kind hearts"; ever. Lots of people will smile in your face; and stab you when you turn. Then; brag over your dead body about being "genius heroes" that managed to fool you.
I don't think they will ever unite until the end of this universe.
