Hello world indeed, although that greatly narrows down the quantum of life forms being addressed to! Why not say “Hello Universe and beyond”? I do not have any particular fascination about addressing life forms beyond our humble earth, but I have quite recently started considering the option. No, its not the fancy space voyages, breakfast at moon-like romantic satellites and lunch at the mars-like hot spots that lure me. It is also because I do not even dream to possess that kind of money!
The reason in fact is that eventually contacting alien life form will be our last resort for survival. Considering the amount of harm we have done to our planet and continue doing so, its hopeless I tell you, hopeless! And the truth is we haven’t even begun to realize the repercussions. Its true that a million dedicated scientists have come together to study the “end of the world” phenomenon and have reported it with equally committed conviction. But who’s listening?
With half the world fighting on the war against terrorism, and the other half, well, fighting against this war, it would require only a pea-sized rats brain to realize that nobody really cares about the earth. And the irony of it all is, although the motives put forth could be anything from “Because someone did something sometime” to “Because he told me to”, the ulterior motive behind every war is money. Yes that useless piece of paper that has hypnotized mankind since its inception.
But what good is a piece of paper, besides burning it to cook your food, if there’s no electricity or gas left? Imagine, all of earths resources are declared “Extinct”, including the wildlife, rain forests, coral reefs, mineral and oil deposits, and maybe even oxygen. Well, personally, I dread this situation, I have begun to get nightmares about it. And my nightmares most certainly would come true, if we keep blaming our governments instead of the devil within.
So, “Hello Universe and beyond!” If there is anyone out there with celestial courage, magnanimous heart and might I add, rather poor mathematical skills, like adding two and two, then please contact us in ways our measly brains can comprehend; because you could be saving a race of life forms that is bound to destroy the only planet they know they can survive on.
