How about we be good to each other because it’s the right thing to do. And in a world full of people struggling to get by it’s what we can all offer each other. That works. If any behavior is predicated on causing other people to act a certain way it’s going to have its failures when encountering the great mess of humanity out there.
My version of the take is; The world will be on average easier if more people are pleasant to each other. You can’t make everyone join in, but you can make the world better on average, which surely is good enough?

You’ve worded it best.
