PERSPECTIVE
“At least sixty percent of earthlings are mad! They are an intolerant lot. They have forked tongues.”
The Alien father was passing on his knowledge to his son while touring the earth.
“They talk of brotherhood, love, compassion, and compatibility but will kill each other to prove their supremacy over who was civilized first, over color, caste, creed, over whose culture, religion is best, or over as silly an issue as whether one is spoon person, chopstick person, fork person or eats with his hands.
We never judge people by their food habits but by their credentials.”
Sharing Thoughts 
Dear Indira,
A lot of food for thought here. We do well to listen to the alien father. Although this thought hit me as I watched an old sc-fi show from the 60’s. Why would the aliens refer to themselves as “aliens?” What about visitors or something else. To them we are the aliens. Just rambling here.
I enjoyed your story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

It does work better. Like I said, it wasn’t just your story that made me think about it. It’s the old show “The Invaders.” Some of the aliens referred to themselves as aliens and thought that was kind of odd. 😉

That’s one wise alien, we’d do well to listen to him. Plenty of food for thought here.

Thanks Susan. At my age people tend to become a little preachy, I think.

Hi Indira,
Good story with a valuable lesson for everyone and no, it didn’t sound silly at all. Please don’t ever feel awkward posting a story. I personally believe that in a group like this, everyone else’s stories make me a stronger writer and you’re a part of that as well.
