We know that something has visited us over the centuries and as human beings, so full of ourselves, we assume these visitors are from a far away galaxy. We imagine they want our planet, or our resources, or hell even us. Are we honestly so arrogant to think that beings from another planet, possibly far more advanced than us, would want anything to do with us?

No, we are not the aliens. We were born and raised here, and you can tell because we're so perfectly matched to this planet. Just the right amount of gravity for our bodies. Just the right combination of gasses for us to breathe. And we'll find out one of these days, maybe, just how quickly we die when we fly into space in our little ships.
Our problem is that we have just a bit too much imagination for our own good. Our Neanderthal cousins survived nearly a million years because they didn't push it. Not us, though. If we last another 5,000 years, we'll be lucky. Depending on what you consider luck.
