Mankind operates on the principle of 'self', mainly self interest. The concept of Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom was the complete opposite, that being 'others'. Even today that counter-culture of other is scoffed at, and those who promote it suffer anything from mockery to death for bucking the system man has built this world upon. It's great for the odd saint but it is the enemy of the established ways. Mankind needs forgiveness for this attitude which we were born with as it is the instinctual nature of all animal life, but man took it to a new level in self determining good and evil... and frankly we know not what we do. We self determine what is good for self serving ways and even kill God in order to keep it, not realizing God's ways are better and a solution to our woes, but in the process not even recognizing God, mankind being too focused on self and what the world we have made in our own image has taught us since birth. People tend to be defensive of what little control they have.
