dear alien

dear alien,

  this planet is called earth. earth is an amazing place filled with wonders. it has animals and insects roaming, but unfortunately it is also inhabited by creatures called human beings. on this planet, humans are superior in the law of nature. we are smarter, stronger, and more advanced than any creature on the earth. however, we are horrible beasts that kill one another for land and paper called money. in our history, we humans kill because of disagreements and freedom, we enslaved our own race, and even slaughtered innocent animals for unnecessary reasons. we created weapons for wars among humans. we are inconsiderate of our land and do whatever we want. alien, if you were to show yourself to earth, your appearance may frighten us humans or amaze us. we might invite solemnly to our planet and treat you kindly, but many people who are curious may do dangerous and cruel things to ¨explore¨ you and your species out of ¨fear¨ you may one day destroy us. we humans can be the most kind and loving but also the most cruel and dangerous. we destroy things and realize the damage after the destruction. we are the cause and the damaged earth is the effect. however, many humans on earth have different views on nature and law. some believe we must treat the earth kindly and responsibly because there is no other planet that can provide us the things this earth does. we humans are overrun by fear in our choices. it makes us do horrible things, but some people overcome the fear and nevertheless still do horrible things. 

  on the other hand, we humans are intelligent creatures that have created things to discover new things on this earth. we may have lived centuries on this land, but still have much to learn about earth. we humans are capable to love and care for another. we can create peace among ourselves and avoid the wrong decisions. you may be offended by the term alien in which we use to address you, but that is a term for unknown things outside earth. we have never seen another race of creatures but ourselves. sometimes we humans feel lonely from the belief that we may be alone in this world.
  do not try to understand us humans. it would take centuries to discover our way of thinking because each human is an individual with different views. so alien, enjoy your stay at our planet and i hope you are allowed to leave earth with no difficulties despite what the government might do to you, your ship, and your gadgets.
  
  your human,
