MLK had a dream in 1963. JFK asked What kind of peace do I seek and mean that same year, 1963. It is now 2024 and where are we? We are further apart on color division and teetering toward WWIII. So much fir idealism
You got to wonder if any intelligent alien species would even consider stopping by our war-torn world. Maybe they'd pass on by, thinking we're a lost cause. But dreamers keep on dreaming of a better, more just world for all. Perhaps that is a miracle in itself.
Please keep writing more fiction! Your little story is hopeful, even though it exposes a lot of humans as greedy, selfish nihilists - sorry, I meant capitalists. I actually think that we are in very late-stage capitalism now, and that must mean that something better must come in it’s place. Although it will be rather messy while those who have gained the most from the Military Industrial Capitalist complex refuse to relinquish their riches. But maybe, just maybe, something better is coming.
I enjoyed your story! It would take aliens to even slow the destruction of humans. We seem dead set on extinction

I really enjoyed your work of fiction.
And, thinking about the attitudes of hatred and greed, babies just want to connect with others, so those attitudes are cultivated.
I wonder how we manage to stop cultivating these destructive attitudes.

Great and sobering story. When I was younger I really hoped the world of today would be so much better than it is. Instead we're heading for oblivion.

Sadly, our closest relatives is the chimpanzee, one of whom destroyed an innocent woman's face.
