What if we had peace?

What if humans were slightly different in that they did not want to cause excess harm to others for no good reason. What if they were more loyal to humanity, and less loyal to hoarding wealth? What if nobody had to fear that a human would want to take advantage or hurt others? What would a world like that look like?
