I think that the Earth is flooded with love if you look for it -- that you, I, and President Obama act nobly 99% of the time.  
Almost all mothers would sacrifice their lives for their children, and maybe for your children.  People flock to places of worship in droves.  Peace Corps volunteers are all over the globe.  When there's a Tsunami, shiploads of money arrive.  When people suffer in a 9/11 attack, everybody cares.  When the SPCA shows a hungry dog on TV, everybody sighs.
What the world would look like, if love didn't predominate, can be seen at the end of "The Matrix" ;- )
X) If this universe were nothing more than a mechanical dance of uncaring atoms, an unspeakably cruel situation would emerge.  Lions don't care about the suffering of antelope.
or Y) If this universe IS something more, than the Source of Love is infusing a key element of altruism and will continue to do so.
or Z) If the earth were "hell," where hatred had already won over love, then (1) there would be no point to the Creation (just go with 2 places, not 3!) ... and (2) things would look a whale of a lot worse than they do.  
Despite my hilarious medical problems -- 12 more hours in the hospital, Wednesday, with no satisfaction -- I'm having a pretty good day in Hell, myself.  You?
Good stuff Matty.

And, as a separate issue, I was referring to what would EVENTUALLY happen to a species, as the number of its years of self-awareness increased towards infinity.  Man's just gotten started; it's not a given that we'll be prospering in 1 billion years.
