For me it's a bit of a mixed bag. The only simple answer I can come up with is I'd love to learn that there is life somewhere else but, I don't want them to know that we know they are there. Cause if they know that we know, then they could see us as a potential threat; as we know that is how this planet would respond. Invasion or not, it would be responded to as an invasion. Even if they come here looking to share their alien Kool-Aid with us, we're going to respond to them as a potential threat and spit in the pitcher. Let's face it, do we want to pick a fight with a race that was advanced enough to reach our planet? No, we do not, but probably will anyway.

So the explorer in me would love to know that we are not alone out here but the realist in me knows that as a rule, the planet earth doesn't show much hope of playing well with others. It isn't even able to play well with itself. 😏 (Yeah, I hear it now that I've typed it and I'm NOT fixing it! LOL!)
