Why not be good?
Why shouldn't we run around murdering and raping each other? Because those people are like you and me, they are literally more like you and me than any other species or object in the entire cosmos. We suffer, so we understand what it would be to make them suffer. I don't need my empathy dictated by a book (Religious or Legal) to make moral judgements for myself.
Also, marshmallows exist in this universe! How can you possibly stay angry for long?!

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. ~ George Bernard Shaw
