That's called empathy, or the ability to imagine yourself in another's place. The optimist in me hopes that people will be empathetic even if they aren't worried about punishment after death. The pessimist in me worries that many people are only empathetic when other people are looking, and one of the first things about God that is drilled into childrens' minds is that He's always looking.
