Why is it so?

I grew up in a time when women had less wages than men, no permanency in employment, could not get a loan for a house
Aboriginals were not counted in the census back then, so consequently were not considered as a people, so they could not vote until 1967, and I am sure other injustices existed, but it seems typical of man. Some of these things have rightfully been corrected, This was the situation in Australia years ago, but maybe you never had these prejudicial problems. I believe loving thy neighbour still tends to be ignored, no amount of legislation will change mens hearts.
There is only one way I know, the 1st Commandment. If one loves someone they will try to please them, would they not?
Deutoronomy 6: 5-9
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
