Re: Aliens and Experiences

Well, with the aliens, there are of course ones who are far less advanced than yourselves as well. But they wouldn't be building space ships that could travel at the velocities necessary for interstellar travel. They would stay on their own planets, far from human eyes and do their own thing.


I would not have you believe that all aliens are of the wonderful peaceful bunch variety. There exist some that would see first contact as a chance to do some slaughter and garner some more resources and slaves.


Fortunately, most resources are not particularly scarce, so there's little desperate need to invade planets to acquire them. Why bother, when there are plenty of uninhabited ones to use? Most of the more advanced see Earth (amongst others) as more of an interesting society to examine, but not to communicate with. There is actually a particular society which does this often, and teaches the results in schools on their planets.


To explore your worry that aliens might come to Earth and kill everyone, let us imagine that you were an alien being, on another world. You have a job, let's say as a historian. A vessel from Earth arrives and establishes contact. As part of an initial agreement with the people of Earth, both sides agree to share historical accounts. So you're then given the task of making recommendations to your races negotiators how to deal with those of Earth, based on their history. What would you tell them?


There is a very big difference, between an experience where you know how it's going to end and one that you don't. The emotions are different, and therefore usually the outcome as well. To directly answer the question, yes, a lengthy but unique experience is just as valid as one that is short.


As to wasps, well, creatures don't exist to serve some grand purpose. They exist because of natural selection. Wasps are well organised and well defended creatures, thus they survived where other variations didn't. Of course, natural selection isn't the total decider of things, as natural disasters, diseases and such make some species that might otherwise have survived die off. One could say they just got unlucky.


I can't see that anyone would particularly enjoy knowing you were going through 'bad things', after all, you've never really hurt anyone. Even if they did for some reason, they would be doing it anyway regardless of how you feel about doing it yourself. The thing is, some people deserve it.


Well, it's not easy for him to forget. If it was, he wouldn't bother talking to you anymore. He'd certainly like you to think it's easy for him though. Pride's always making people wear a mask. He still has feelings he's trying to hide behind that mask.

So people are controlled by their genes now? Nah, it was his choice. I'm certainly not taking responsibility for that monster. Why'd I leave Mary? Well it was kind of mutual agreement. We'd had lots of fun but obviously we didn't want Joseph discovering us and getting pissed off, and having her stoned to death.


I briefly experienced jealousy when I was very young. I decided though, that it would only get in my way, so I stopped experiencing it.


Hey, if Michael did that I'd be overjoyed (not to mention joining in)! Since angel's don't get STD's or pregnant unless we're in physical form (in which case it disappears as soon as we return to our energy state) there are no consequences.


Heh, I quite like my dedication. I think even Raphael does now he's got used to it. My dedication is perversity, not sex. Of course, sex comes into it quite a bit. More recently though, since I've been with Michael it's been mixed with compassion, so suddenly I'm being more careful with what I'm doing. No more getting people pregnant for no apparent reason.


Uriel's dedication, emotional attachments, is not always a good thing, you can certainly be attached to the wrong things. So when we were younger and she wanted a relationship with me I very nicely declined. The girls dangerous when she gets pissed off and upset, which unfortunately she does pretty often.


We've got some others up here who you might think are even more strange, like Camael, the angel of Depression.


Love, light and medical experiments,

Gabriel


Signature - There'll be time for explanations later. And hopefully, some sex!
