Do we need to be told?

Do we really need to be told to treat others well - to respect - to be kind - to be fair and to give? 
To judge less - To love more - To look after our families. 
Do we need to do these things out of fear of God - or to please Him or someone we respect? To get into heaven and enjoy a better afterlife? 
We are told to be kind and considerate to preserve the family's honor -for the sake of our community or the religion. 
Why can't we do these things just for the sake of doing - out of love? 
- Simply because these are the natural qualities of human beings.
The problem in doing things just for the sake of others is - that if for some reason, we lose respect for them, we might stop doing all these good things too. 
On the other hand, if we make these attributes a part of our nature, then these qualities - regardless of the circumstances, will remain with us for the rest of our lives. 
The best ideal is: 
Treat others as you want to be treated by others. 
And don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you.
