A difficult question - after all, the wording itself has a cultural connotation that should be eliminated.
We have no way, in the case of communication with someone or something more intelligent and powerful, to determine with whom exactly we are in contact, we have no experience to compare with, only other people and fairy tales.
The second part of the problem is that there is nothing to take from us, and if they are strong, they can take without asking us. You donβt ask cockroaches that are going to eat your food, can you take it by driving them away?
All beliefs that exist in cultures have no evidence, can contradict each other and convince people of their knowledge, which they do not have, giving rise to ignorance.
So ... let's imagine that there is some creature, intelligent, who could help you and give you what you ask for, moreover, they understand you. So why not just give? Like we feed all sorts of cute and interesting animals for us, receiving only impressions.
On the farm, they won't ask you.
And it turns out that we are not against it and would really like free happiness - but there is no one. And in response, silence.
