Come What It May

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit. ~ Bernard Williams

Have you heard in those tales about how information should be withheld from the people, or otherwise all would be lost? Is it really true that humans are all that fragile? In all history, humans have been picking up the pieces and always fighting.It just doesn't seem possible that a little truth or scare would make us roll belly up would.

It's always insulting how people believe that if aliens appeared or something very scary were about to happen, human beings would absolutely lose it. We would kill ourselves in fear, loot, and just do something harmful to ourselves and others, which would inadvertently destabilize earth.

However, if anyone has read anything about history is that humans are very resilient, sure we are fragile, but we are very tough and we can adapt to knew challenges. We are not just simply pretty wall flowers, we are beings that can roll with the punches, and just because aliens exist people wouldn't start going crazy.

Some stories of resilience would be like the Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor, they did not give up. In fact, it was rather the opposite, they used the same boats that were sunk by their enemies and rebuilt them and won a war. In other cases, there have been millions of cases of people getting serious injuries and people telling them they will never walk, never do the things they love. However, these people get back up, and prove everyone wrong.

Furthermore to hone in this ideal, is that humans wouldn't just “panic” at aliens coming by, would be the fact that the “War of War Worlds Panic” in truth was a myth. The story goes that the War of Worlds written by H.G Wells incited panic in America in 1938 when it was read out loud on the radio. However, no one did really panic, no one jumped of buildings, and no one had confirmed heart attacks. The whole thing was a hoax, but people should have known that already. Yes, maybe there would be some panic in the event of aliens, but it always depends on how the news is told.

If anyone knows anything about humans, we may be stupid, but we just might be stupid enough to keep on fighting till the very end. Whatever happens in life, most humans will keep on kicking, rolling over and dying is just plain unnatural.

So, if aliens or some great disaster would befall the human race and we found out, we shouldn't be to worried, for as been said before once, we would fight them on beaches, we would fight on the landing grounds, we would fight in the fields and in the streets, we would fight in the hills; and above all, we would never surrender.
