The laws were brought into existence so that mankind would have guidelines to which he could live by if he wished to return to the presence of God. God wants all of His children to return to Him. He also understands that we are ignorant of His laws, and so the basic laws to which we were capapable of keeping were given. One must read between the lines if we are to fully understand the meaning of all of the commandments. One way of giving them more meaning is to add the words "Do not even think..." i.e Do not even think of not loving thy neighbour.
