They Don't Mean Any Harm....

There is something I myself don't understand when people say "They Don't mean any harm", but they say and act different. In the Alien and UFO community you have one of four type; Hobbyist, Abductee, Contactees, Experiencers. The abductee mainly views these encounters as a negative experience, but the others see them in either positive or neutral terms. Yet with some individuals, they tend to whitewash the situation and don't want to come to terms that something sinister has happened.

One individual I met had his first encounter when he was a teenager. He was driving with a female friend and all of a sudden he began to see several being on the side of the road. There seemed to have been some missing time. Nothing went further afterwards and it was all but shelved back as an incident. Decades later while retired and living at home he began to witness crafts in the sky. Soon after that he had an other more intimate encounter in which he was examined. He is a very analytical and detail oriented person. He knew what he experienced was beyond his control or level of resistance, so he stayed calm and observed.

A few years later while stargazing, he again saw another object. This time family was nearby and he asked his daughter to see. When she looked through the binoculars she saw something she could not explain. A few weeks afterwards she was awakened in the middle of the night, and when she went to check things out there was a shadowy being in the hallway and left. She never said a word to her husband, but let her father know. He re-assured her that it was most likely nothing and that everything was okay. They don't show up and they are not real. However a few days later he did talk to his youngest grandchild and asked if there was anything unusual, since the being was near his room in the hallway. The child had no idea what he was talking about.

The thing is he says that they pose no threat, but why convince his daughter that this was nothing? Why show concern by asking his grandchild if anything was amiss. If these beings pose no threat than why the wish for them not to be burdened? It seems that there despite his passive encounter, somewhere deep down there is a concern. I find that many individuals who I talk to sometimes have a question and a love/hate relationship. Sometimes they try to convince themselves everything is okay.... that they are allies.....they are friends. It seems people rather see with their heart than their eyes. The see what they want to see and thus may act counter intuitively. They may be friend, they may be foe, they may not care....but in the end we should not delude ourselves.
