Aliens –Good, or Bad?
One of the most fascinating avenues for letting loose our imagination has been the topic of aliens. The look and feel of the aliens, their character etc has been the subject of endless discussions and movies.
In most of these discussions and movies there is one very noticeable thread that runs along, and that is, one way or the other the Aliens are depicted as a bad lot. Ugly looking, very vicious and hell bent on destroying humans!
Of course in the end, against all odds, using all the resources at hand, the humans manage to outwit the aliens.
The paradox here which is simply amazing is that if all along we humans believe that God created us and the Earth, then it is obvious, that since we also believe there is only one God, that same God must have created the Aliens or the green Martian or whoever. In that case why do we humans presume that the Aliens are bad? Why should God create bad beings?
We go all out trying to create creatures that look scarier, sillier, dumb, bad etc. We equip them with some amazing gadgets. Flying saucers that can appear, disappear, and make travel at the speed of light look like slow motion. We make them carry sophisticated weapons that can decimate groups into ash, laser beams that can set fire to a whole city, oh boy, you name it and they have it. How did God ever create such a creature huh? We Humans have to destroy these creatures!
Two eyes, four legs, chomping on worms or humans make no difference to them. They may walk or slide or float or whatever, but at the end of the day they are bad, they have come to destroy us and so we must somehow destroy them!
So why is it that we humans like to think and portray all aliens as bad? Is it a reflection of our insecurity? Humans have all along history been fighting for one reason or another. Frankly I do not think there has been any point on the time scale when humans have really lived in peace with no weapons on hand. Has there ever been a time when humans have laughed and lived a happy life without worrying about the enemy- Real or imaginary?
Today apart from the external enemies, humans now have to worry about the internal enemies. The mind of the humans is taking over control. The mind is now creating all kinds of imaginary scenarios, which are sufficient cause to unleash violence- at home, in the city, the state, the country and maybe finally in the universe.
So in a way it is possible that this over dose of violence and insecurity in our society is driving us to think and behave in a manner which makes anything other than us bad? In fact even amongst us we are either this side or that side. Who cares which side is good or bad!
So what could be the impact if a good Alien lands up on earth? Technologically sophisticated, able to disarm us quickly in case we try to fight, but a good Alien!
I would for one love to see a movie on a good alien. But then will this movie be a success?

YOU GOT A POINT WE MUST STAND UP FOR OURSELVES THE ALIENS MIGHT BE HOSTILE SO WE MUST FIGHT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is one movie about good aliens. i forget what it’s called, but bruce willis is in it. it’s older. and he has to go down to the bottom of some body of water to stop a bomb from getting set off and he figures he’s gonna die down there because its soooooooo deep and he sees colorful lights and a ghostlike figure and it saves his life and returns him to the surface.
that movie was called “the abyss” wasnt a bad movie. any way ive been reading about aliens for ages i even remember a story about a woman who fell pregnant to a alien (no joke). cant wait for “district 9″ to come out in cinemas.
ive been thinking, what if aliens were just like us, we kill to eat, we eat to live, we live to suceed in many objectives, just think about it. What if the aliens are just examining us just like we examine other living species of different animals on this planet and ty to do so on other planets. Maybe there planet is almost identical to ours. So maby the aliens are good and bad just like us, besides we dont have a right to think they are good or bad its not what we think they are, its what they are and what they choose to be. maybe we do have to get ready and put it aside until the/a invasion/s do occure.
I believe we are not the reason they are here. If we were then the would have either made there presence known on a global scale or the would have enslaved/killed us off by now. Such is there power given there advanced technology. It is much more likely that they are here for the earth itself and given the lack of water in the universe i would bet my money that that is why they are here. This can be supported by the fact that there are more u.s.o reports then u.f.o reports. Also, you should look up the blurp. this was a massive sound that resinated throughout the atlantic ocean. It could be heard three thousand miles from where it originated. I believe this is an underwater u.s.o base. I say we should just let them be, as they have not bothered us who are we to stand in there way. We are merely inhabitants of earth not the owners. If we can help out these potential cosmic allies then it is our universal neighborlly duty. Maybe then we could prevent an intergallactic war wich we most definetly would not win.
Greetings. It really is insane how world of internet changed the world of gizmos.My demographic was raised with out any gadgets .No-one knew Google – all of us walked to library to find out the sought info.Noone had a mobile . The ones using numeric pagers were thought to be awesome and almost definitely shady (and in certain instances crooks).Presently nearly every youngster currently have a touchscreen display cell phone,twitters,weblogs and talks about just about every detail of their life.Plenty ,actually it’s annoying….But hey,This is a 21′st century.God.I say it and can’t believe the things I hear.Technological know-how advances on exponential,we are racing through time period and getting nothing but older(and wiser)
Plenty of chatter…Thanks for the really helpful blog post.It had been relaxing and fantastic to read.
