If there's absolutely nothing I can do to convince you, it isn't a logical argument you're going with. It's a philosophical or emotional one. Logical evidence based arguments would change if compelling contrary evidence was provided.
I'm asking what that contrary evidence would look like for you.
So no one can tell or show you anything to change your mind? Then we're back to where we started with a philosophical or a moral position rather than a logical one.
Thanks for doing what you are doing. I know someone is reading this comment chain and you are helping them out indirectly.
Also, history books and discussion is more about grand state actors and conquests, not the everyday kindness and selflessness. It's usually the norm, so not noteworthy to history.
But you wouldn't learn that from history books.
But they don't tell you much about human success where countries don't go to war and genocides don't happen. So you can't compare effectively.
