The earthlings have it exactly backward. But it is much worse than that. They can't understand why nature won't meet their most trivial needs, and they are possessed by dissatisfaction. If they look at their planet's moon, it is unsatisfactory because they can't build a house on it. Everything is too hot or too cold, too big or too small.
Reality is viewed solely in terms of a human's immediate needs.
Mostly by looking in the wrong places. The leader pretends to need followers, and the followers pretend to need a leader. The Americans have raised dissatisfaction to an art form. They rarely notice events and creatures of great beauty, and completely miss spectacular examples of nature's generosity. For example, I once monitored the brain-waves of a human observing a sunset.
