When you are down and out, why are so many people watching jokes and unwilling to help you?

That's because people don't like you. People who really treat you as friends or care about you will never laugh at you when they see you down and out, and will certainly try their best to help you. And those who don't like you laugh at you when you are down and out, just want to make you more down and out and can't see how you are. Life is like this. We can't let everyone around us like ourselves and become our good friends, but we can keep our eyes open and recognize who is willing to help our friends when we are down and out. We should also try our best to get better and better.
