However the reality is that this is not reflective of world as a whole as the world is full of very manipulative and hateful people so one should never let there guard down. The ubiquitous trust and verify comes to mind. Trojan Horse, Pearl Harbor, Bernie Madoff......And on a smaller scale the flim flam people who knock on your door or call you on the phone with evil intent.
Also if you recall female leaders both past and present ruling in Europe, South America, etc have shown that they can be as cruel as men
Circumstances also result in neighbor going against neighbor as during Nazi Germany's occupations, Viet Cong, or even present day with the ethnic or religious cleansing in Europe, Asia Africa, Middle East.

I quote myself in response. Can "if only..." actually ever happen? Of course not, but sometimes we can enjoy thinking about a fantasy (while at the same time being conscious of reality). Notwithstanding, thanks to the OP for sharing her very real experience!
