Second Lesson

No, I don't know where we came from. No, not from another planet. I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it before.

Where did you come from? Where did humans come from?

Do not think such rude thoughts; I am not an omniscient being. If I don't know where I come from, how am I supposed to know where you come from?

Why don't we postulate together? We must be somewhat similar if we are communicating. Though I do think it is due to my races' ability at telepathy that we can communicate.

You are clearly having difficulty imagining our similarities; your thoughts are very muddled.

Well, we might have originated from a similar place as you but we must have changed somewhere along the line.

We are not aliens. I mean, technically we are, but you are as alien to me as I am to you. But I am certainly not that creepy, gross monstrous being that you associate with aliens.

Your thoughts of aliens are connected danger and fear. I don't understand; have you encountered aliens? Did they hurt you? No? Then what are you afraid of? How do you if there is something to be afraid of? Why be afraid of something you don't even know? Are you afraid of the unknown?
