With the exception of maybe a handful or Trappist Monks, I think that's true of everyone.

Sometimes I think the Messiah put that whole, "love your enemy" requirement in there just so people would develop an understanding of how difficult, if not impossible it is to conduct yourself as a "perfect" human being.

I also believe that there's a form of connectivity between everyone that people aren't aware of. It's too much to truly understand, so the Messiah didn't attempt to explain it. He just gave instructions to be decent to each other so that our behavior doesn't damage that fabric that all of humanity makes up,......maybe?
