They must be having their own conflicts...

I guess there are too many species, each with its own peculiarities, specificities, systems, problems too. Humans are too undeveloped creatures, and the earth is too sad a place to live, for us to imagine that we are the only ones. I think it's been said and shown thousands of times, whether through movies, reports, and documentary videos, but people are too egocentric to "believe it."
I always use this "joke" about aliens when I talk about the misery of life on earth, but it's not so much a joke. (It's a joke, as long as I don't present myself to people as crazy.😂) But somehow my mind can't accept that this is the only one here. It would be very sad. It already is.
It took me a lot to realize it, to somewhat assimilate what is happening on the global stage. I understand why most people don't want to think about it - it's just not rational, we are put here to just live, no matter what is happening around us. And it's almost always scary around us.
