    Actually you are very correct and very wise in saying that. Most major world religion will agree with you. The buddhist will you that is the nature of the human condition, the endless insatiable desire, always wanting, always begging. The Christians will tell you, we are but beggars for the salvation from Christ's holy sacrifice. But I don't want to get off on odd tangents.

    Here is where you off track with the logic. Everyone is human, yet we use the word human, just like everything in the known universe is matter, yet we use the word matter. Because it does matter. And that is forgetting not everyone is a beggar all the time.

    Actually the revelation that Siddhartha had is that the natural state of humanity is suffering. People grow old and die, they gain things and lose things and it is the sadness and sufferering caused by the inevitable loss of things that defines humanity. The way to step outside this cycle of suffering and reach enlightenment according to Buddhist teaching is to accept that everything in the physical world is just a temporary and to appreciate things for what they are, when they are and to be content.

    The idea of of human desire and its role in the nature of humanity is touched upon in Buddhism, when Siddhartha turns to aestheticism in his search for enlightenment, but in the end he comes to the conclusion that desire is a natural part of the world and is not inherently evil, such as the desire to eat when you are hungry or the desire to love and be loved, hence why he abandoned aestheticism and continued on his journey.

    Please have the facts straight on something if you are going to try to use it as a point of reference.

    What you do know is that their skill level is unknown and you did not want to chance it.
    True, they may or not be skilled. But what I'm curious was their attitude when told no. If they were gracious about it, I'd be more willing to help them clear content at a later time. If they acted like entitled brats, not so much.
