Expressive Aliens
Sometimes it seems how our imagination turn very serious things into funny jokes. Be it finding humour in a grave situation or re-thinking aliens as cute little bundles of toys with different faces. Some yawn and sleep while some fume in anger; some laugh their heart out and some are looking for opportunities of mischief. How would you visualise an alien invasion?
They would probably want to make new alien friends on Earth and exchange knowledge if science and philosophy! Uh, about the language? Well they must have a translator, which our translators can translate perhaps? Otherwise lets just stick to communication by gestures! (Easier too learn too).
What if entertainment? Would they understand our sense of comic...would we understand theirs? Who cares! If the idea is communicated we can all always make space for alien ideas, and hopefully they will be able to make room for such exchanges as well! Or, do their feelings work differently? But in this hypothetical imagination, let’s say feelings transmit in the same manner (at least better than how things go on between people most if the times, in this modern and contemporary). It would be a better world with such aliens around us. Aliens who express their mind and feelings without any ill-intention, yes, they might laugh instead of crying and get confused while angry or blush with fear, it is possible to understand them in their own ways. And what a lovely and interesting a world that would be! It would be amazing to believe that such a training of the human kind could bring their own attitudes in track, and the remaining ethos of human kind can teach a lot to the alien world too.
Mainly, it can work both ways and it can work beautifully, if only aliens were ever this cute and friendly, not like those shown in the movie ‘Predators’... horrifying. Nonetheless, we would never know, not anytime soon (if not this article comes true!).
