...The manner in which we view other life forms in the heavens will determine how we treat these life forms.

Our past experience of human behavior and limited perceptions throughout our history should have taught us much.

Our atrocious treatment of the Incas, Mayans, Jews, Muslims, Christians, North American Indians, Serbs, noncommunists … goes on forever it seems.

And what of new life forms we may encounter in the heavens?

What about life forms which most probably will be entirely alien to our way of thinking and appearance?

We can only hope we will have a new understanding, a new perception of what life is, and what the significance of life means, before we encounter these new life forms in the heavens.

Without a new perception, life may once again be subjected to inhumane human behavior.
