From the outside looking in (#1467)

I know this post may seem a bit strange but bear with me will you? Imagine that you are this intellectually compassionate alien being looking down upon our planet. At first observation, the blues, whites and greens from afar look appealing. Upon further and closer inspection more colors appear, which serve to tantalize the eyes of the viewer. It is then that the alien will see the life forms that exist here. Many varied and unique. But when the alien sees the way we treat each other, the alien must then realize that we are a chaotic lot on Earth. We try to treat each other with respect and dignity but as the alien will see, we have a ruthlessness to us that has not been abolished. The evolution of the human species is still occurring at a slow rate given our human intellect to reason and conclude. We are on a path to abolishing the crude elementary traits we exhibit at this date in our human progression but the distance we must travel to truly become an enlightened species is far off. The alien must then pull back from our planet and wonder how it is that a beautiful world with lush and bountiful resources could be so chaotically mismanaged. The alien must wonder how it is that we treat each other so differently based upon rules and dogmas that are not evenly distributed. the alien must wonder how it is that we would rather deny each other basic necessities for life while telling us that it is good for us. I am sure the alien will either shake what he has for a head and wonder how we have survived our own tormenting of each other. Our planet is not at fault for this, it is on we humans to fix the ridiculous way we treat each other and until then we will only be a sad chapter in a Universe full of wonderful possibilities.
