This is because the humans have designed their lives and systems in such a way as to make things difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the humans have divided the earth into hundreds of &#8220;countries&#8221; with &#8220;borders.&#8221; And humans of one country generally cannot migrate to another without a long bureaucratic process, unless they have a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there&#8217;s the banking system. The humans are always in need of money, but to get a loan from the bank takes so much paperwork that most humans cannot do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s just scratching the surface. Consequently, the humans are always in need of help. They have set things up this way to &#8220;make money.&#8221; So humans pay other humans money to solve problems for them. This way, everyone gets &#8220;work&#8221; or a job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is when the humans don&#8217;t have money &#8211; and most humans are out of money at any given them. If one human helps another human without charging money, it is called a &#8220;favor.&#8221; Needless to say, humans don&#8217;t like to do favors for other humans because of their inherent selfish nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when a human does do a favor for another, he often complains that the human who received the favor is &#8220;ungrateful.&#8221; And this is not far from the truth. Most humans are ungrateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, when a human receives a favor from another human, 5 percent of the time, the human who received the favor will remember it, be thankful and try to reciprocate the good deed. The other 95% of the time the human will be &#8220;ungrateful.&#8221; That is, the human who received the favor will not express thanks and try to reciprocate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s worse is that some humans will try to &#8220;take advantage of&#8221; other humans who do favors for them. That is, they will receive all the favors they can, and then not do anything to reciprocate it. What&#8217;s even worse is that some humans repay good with evil. That is, they sometimes do bad things to someone who did good favors for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This only further complicates the whole matter and causes the humans to be more &#8220;selfish&#8221; or &#8220;for themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So in conclusion, the humans are generally ungrateful. But why the humans are generally ungrateful is another topic of debate altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the book &#8220;A Report on the Humans&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickcarpen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"by Patrick Carpen.
