Monster or nature?

Is this a monster or just another living creature in the universe?

    I do admit that if I met this creature in the dark with a flashlight and had never seen it before and didn't know what his intentions were I too would be scared. But what would be the purpose of vilifying the creature that has done you no harm? If you knew what it was and what its purpose or intent was and that he just happen to be a vegetarian would you still live in fear of it? True if it was like a viper you would have to show it some respect. Poisonous snakes do not like to be messed with but still is that a reason to kill it? And how do you expect to explore the universe, outside your own world if you have already determined that the rest of the universe was out to get you? If you swim in the ocean you're bound to meet up with a shark, but does that mean you have to kill it in order to understand it or to be unafraid? As an alien I am no different than this beetle or some shark swimming in the ocean. I may look menacing but if you study nature most creatures that look menacing do so because they themselves are afraid. Imagine what this beetle is thinking when he sees something 1000 times larger than him. In traveling the universe we are constantly encountering such creatures but if we as explorers destroyed everything we encountered that made us fearful, we would soon find ourselves alone in the universe. And what if this menacing looking creature had the cure for your worst illnesses or if it held the secret to the universe. Would you still kill it?

Put your EGO in your pocket and explore the universe with us, but if you cannot leave your EGO behind stay where you are and face the fate that your EGO has created for you.

We will be watching!
