Are we puppets dancing on someones strings

What if the sky above us has eyes watching us. What if we simply don’t notice or recognize that something is watching us now.

 

In this way then we are watched constantly all of the time including every word we speak, every idea we have. Our thinking is being monitored. All of our achievements and advancements in science and technology are continually being learned from. This spying on us by them is possible to achieve because of advancements in alien learning.

 

Why wouldn't we be watched if there really is intelligent life beyond us though. Wouldn’t it be likely that we’d do the same toward an inferior civilization. Why wouldn't other life that’s complex, wise, and potentially highly ethical, feel  cautiousness in approaching us. We haven’t shown that we are level headed in our track record of behavior. From their perspective, very likely, they don’t see us as having enough commonsense to be able to trust us.

 

Genocide on ethnic minorities, lobotomies on the mentally ill, dropping radio active bombs, neglect for people malnourished and starving, environmental destruction,  a history of enslavement of other people,  the many wars, crimes, and variety of ways of oppression, probably would not ease alien anxieties in their mistrust of us.

How could they believe from us that we possess the ability to be trusted enough to come to the table in a universal diplomatic forum of cooperation and knowledge sharing.

 

Can we offer other intelligent beings any consistency in their belief of our calmness or rational.  Do we have a track record of good judgment, predictability, or good behavior across time and location.

 

“Noooooooo we don’t have a good track record so we can’t show them that we do! We can’t show other life elsewhere that we have much commonsense. They know us too well to believe that lie. If they have observed us for a long time now they get what we’re about. They know that we’re mostly a bunch of rotten apples who can’t treat each other fairly most of the time. How could we be expected to treat them and their existence right if we began exchanging knowledge with each other. We’re always at war and a lot of the time we have lost a concern for our shared humanity. 

 

There are lots of arguments against our human goodness. Just to pick one that occurs to me is we’re mistaken in how we treat and understand each other. Take religion as an example. We see many other people’s eternal future with coldness. We come to easily to understandings about other people that abandon any hope they have in God’s plan. We see no hope for them beyond this world. In these common beliefs God can’t be seen as everyone’s God.

 

That is just one example of our divisions, our quickness to sign off on each other, of how divided we are and how easy we abandon our friends for our own interests in this case supposedly our ticket to immortality. We lack a capability to love others adequately. We find ourselves often with no way to know a love that can transcend borders and empathize with humans of other beliefs. We resist in the process loving fearlessly and justifiably with conviction everyone.

 

There are all kinds of arguments to be pointed out that point out that we can’t be trusted too. We are constantly at war for one obvious example. Often, in many examples, we act with great cruelty to each other. So then are we  unsuited, unfit and unable to step up to the table of a type of ecumenical, world wide table, in this case a table belonging to every being in the galaxy or perhaps even every being in the universe.

 

If we are too bad to cooperate perhaps we should see ourselves as the scum and hopeless delinquents of the universe.

 

Hold on now though wait a second! The thing about us humans, in defense of us now, is all of these problems that we know aren’t they problems constantly beyond our control to even stop or control them. Aren’t these problems problems that our imperfect human ability is often unavoidably unable to control in the moment.

 

There are many influences we face that misguide our decision making or overwhelm our capabilities to respond or fix the difficulties. These problems cloud human judgment,  contaminate our negotiations, interfere with the right kind of spread of ideas. With inflamed fanaticism, people divides by territory and political belief, these, and many other factors, disrupt how able we are to harmoniously interact with each other creating the difficult and often unsolvable problems we face.

 

We could criticize ourselves saying we are to blame, how it’s our fault for this, insisting it’s our own complacency that is involved here. Doesn’t however, if we look at our struggles honestly, an unstoppable kind of chaos act in these processes though. The disturbances in human thought leading to chaos, division, conflict commonly complicate human society and makes it more then difficult, often impossible, for us to control the forces in the world around us. These chaotic problems lead to many human difficulties.

 

Is at all always possible for us to understand how these influences really are working. Shouldn’t we recognize the limitations on us for controlling autocrats, nature, ideas, propaganda, moving armies, and many processes of thought producing change. 

 

Our we being effected by an unseen guiding influence. We have been trying to make life so much more inhabitable for human beings. We have struggled to create a peaceful world order, bring people out of poverty, advance civilization, react together to stop war, and end state aggression. The people involved acting politically can be crazed, deeply irrational, and cruelly ambitious.

 

I have a question to posse:

 

Are we unaware of what really could be guiding these people here. Does something else from somewhere else have an overarching influence in controlling or effecting people’s ambitions. Why do our ideas collide with other minds in the world after being egged on by some process of mind in our thoughts. In other words Is there a shit disturber from beyond reaping havoc on human history.

 

As we think about life, about ideas, form personal beliefs we are lead places in our thoughts commonly. Rising up in those thoughts, through our anger commonly, appears a desire to resent others. We find solidarity in our minds vision bringing together ideas of who is like us and shares our interests as we work out in our thoughts finding our allies with people like us and then ruthlessly we turn directing our reoccurring rising anger at an enemy, a scapegoat, our source for directing habitually enjoyed hatred. This drive is commonly directed toward a minority group, another race, a foreign country or another religion.

 

Might something control our minds thinking. Might something somewhere else other then here have an influence on us in these thoughts we generate.

 

The majority of the conflicts people are lead into each generation cause great suffering and this suffering won’t matter strategically in a hundred years from now. From the graveyard if we could look back at these convictions we have embracing racism, conflict and war how much sense will it make to us from there the other side.

 

Are we then puppets on someone else’s diabolical strings then. We keep naively acting against one other across history in our world.  There is a problem here for us to question carefully. We don’t really know where these germinating seeds come from that began growing these seeds (ideas) in men’s ambitions.

 

When speaking of these seeds developing in histories villains where did those particularly cruel visions of history come from. The how and why for it happening is a mystery.

 

Such seeds have grown in men spurring on a vicious, cruel, hate, for whatever reason. These drives, after taking virulent root in certain human imaginations, have meant people killed, wounded and terrorized by the millions. These ideas lead armies and secret police to perpetrate horrendous crimes causing death, destruction, and suffering on a massive scale in our world.

 

So If we want to sit at the table with other beings in the universe maybe reluctantly we must admit to them we’re to blame for ourselves. Maybe we’re not good enough to join the rest of the universe.

 

Or maybe, perhaps, we don’t know who our real enemies are yet. Maybe we should question whether our enemies are other human beings or alternatively perhaps whether our real enemies are someone else, some being,  somewhere else out in the universe.

 

I ask you this where did Adolf Hitler's dark vision come from or Stalin's strange vision for where he lead communism in his infatuation for rounding up the middle classes and even their offspring to be killed by the millions. What compelled these men’s minds driving them toward this level of hate for other human beings.

 

Maybe other beings elsewhere in the universe keep an eye on us humans, it’s possible that they do. Maybe it’s a weary eye too when they watch us. Perhaps they have an alert level that keeps getting more severe in response to our advancements technologically. They might keep watching us to see what progress we’re presently making and how much of an increasing threat we posse to others in the universe. They perhaps will keep watching us until it comes to a point in time that we can't be permitted to progress any further. Then the unthinkable must happen to us.

 

Or perhaps we’re the victims in the universe and a cruel enemy somewhere out there is causing our demented dance through the ages as they, the puppeteers, pull our strings and watch us struggle.
