There is unquestionably a great deal of evil and wickedness in today's world. However, ever since the original fall of humanity into sin as described in Genesis 3, no human (other than Jesus, due to the miraculous manner in which He was conceived) has lived (or has even been able to live) a completely sinless life. And, as noted by James in his epistle (James 2:10), the commission of one sin is equal in God's sight to breaking the totality of the Law. If God were to deal with sin in the manner described in the question, there would be no one left on earth. The one hope for all of humanity is placing faith in Christ and His atoning sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, which should also lead us to forgive those who sin against us in the same manner in which we have been forgiven (Matthew 6:12).
