Deep-space Thoughts


I’ve been having deep-space thoughts about the Cosmos today,
stellar thoughts about billions upon billions of solar systems and
galaxies, personal thoughts about extraterrestrial life thousands
of light years away, radio-wave thoughts that our transmissions
may indeed have already been received.

Some here on Earth fear that one day we will have visitors from
afar who like us have malicious designs on invading foreign lands
and peoples to plunder and enslave. And I would question, why?
Should they be technologically advanced enough to warp space/
time or hyper-drive light years to reach us here, they would have
already done so had they the need.

But perhaps they consider us to be like the dysfunctional relation-
ship whose calls we refuse to take. We had an Earth-like relation-
ship once, they might be telling themselves, and what a mistake;
look where that got us. No, my friends, they probably don’t need
starving nations and a warlike people with which to contend.

They have more than likely had enough of pollution and global
warming. In all likelihood they have far surpassed the Walmart
and McDonald’s mentality. Let’s just leave those Earthlings be.
After they’ve been though therapy and in a few millennia, then
We’ll see.

(I imagine if there should be a god of all creation way out there
somewhere, he or she may be given deep-space pause to consider
pretty much the same.)
