I will try to explain you what I think is the cause. First, consciously or not, some people sooner or later realize that although "giving" has great approval in theory, it produces severe punishment to the giver. To give is like to put yourself at the will of people. You gave something? Then it was because it was not valuable. You gave something? Then you are looking some egotiscal goal thorught distorted ways. You gave someting? Obviously it was so because you was not capable of geting money from it. And in any case what you gave is worthless. If not so, they think, you should ask something. Second and finally, as my granfather said after he gave something to anybody, "I hope the guy forget because nothing worst that people that thinks ows something to you and cannot pay. They will hate you..." I have experienced in my own field every one of those rewards. Nobody love you or appreciate you more because of your gifts. Well, there are some that does, but most people does not. And so, as much is so easy not to give, so natural, what is the purpose to follow the wrong track? Sorry, so it is human nature. Fernando
