Sometimes I wonder why God created man with limited ability to forgive. I've seen the world that I live in is filled with hatred, selfishness. "He is a filthy man! He took dirty money from people!" (hate). "He did a sin from taking money from other people. I hope he will realise his mistakes one day and may God guide him to the right path." (love). Can ones feel two different feelings from one similar situation? Hate and love.
Human beings always being too judgemental about their and other people's lives. We are living in a world where people do judge us and we judge them. I wish if I could bring love to the humankind, insyaAllah I would. Perhaps there are not many people hold onto their belief firmly.
I believe that all people want to be like the prophets who were forgiving, lovely, kind-hearted, and et cetera but it might because of the worldly temptations and the devils that some people diverted from their right path. Never stop loving!
The phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover!" really struck me over and over. People know it and even say it, but less of them really appreciate it. We as normal human beings can never be apart from judging people. Yup, that's true.
But, it is always up to us to shape our thought about the people around us, our family, friends, and others. It is always up to us to clean up our heart from hatred, bad thought and fill it with love and forgiveness. If we see people who do a bad thing, never say "He is a bad person." because God always give chances to all mankind to ask for forgiveness before we die. So no one is purer than the other. It always depends how do we proceed with our actions.
Are we going to forgive and love? Or are we going to leave and hate?
Allah said in the Quran (Al-Hasyr 59:10) :
"And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment towards those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."
...love, and you will be loved...
...because love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problems of mankind...

like you said, people knew it. nonetheless, they still do it again and again. it takes practice and and pure intention to refrain from judging.
"eh tak lah takkan lah dia mcm tu"
"mungkin background dia. tak boleh lah nak salahkan dia."
etc3.
when i was little, i used to believe in universal peace and i wanted to be part of it.
growing up to reality, the dream is still there but i'm learning that we can only work as hard as we can to put the dream closest to the ideal.

-well said- :)
at all times, we sure want to act precisely like Prophet SAW would act.
and we could do that, if and only if, we have unconditional and unending love.
as we're living in community that we'll be hurt more as we love more; it 'simply' require us to be hurt unconditionally and endlessly.
