A recent conversation comes to mind when a stranger of sorts asked me an exceptionally simple question- "Do you believe it God or Karma or anything at all?"
Aliens.
I told him that I believed in aliens. My prompt reply was rather hilarious to the informal interrogator. Why people dismiss the possibility of life on another planet of another galaxy is beyond me. I've tried to explore their line of reasoning and have arrived at one of many explanations.
Human beings are so vastly narrow minded that they cannot fathom the mere idea of extraterrestrial life. Our spectrum of thought is so confined to our egocentric way of life that this idea seems to upset us, somehow make us insecure and belittled.
Are we threatening by the thought that these supposedly "green sinked beings" are going to annihilate our race? Or is it just that we do not want to share our glorious existence with other beings?
Whatever the reason, our narrow mindedness seriously unsettles me as the possibilities are endless. If only we know!

That's an interesting read. Watch this video, it's basically a visual representation of the same idea:
