Some scientists argue that there is
life
 on other planets and it is good to send messages to contact them while other scientists believe that these kinds of activities will be a threat to human existence on
earth
. In my opinion, trying to interact with
life
 forms on other planets may have negative impacts on human
life
 and it is better to avoid it. Some scientists believe that contacting extraterrestrial beings on other planets is beneficial. If human beings can contact them, their resources can be utilized for the betterment of human
life
.
For example
, human population is increasing and natural resources are depleting. If we get alternative energy sources from them, it will be a great help for the human population on
earth
. If the interaction with the
life
 on other celestial bodies has a positive impact on human beings, it will be good but there is no guarantee

Similarly
, extraterrestrial beings may wipe out human beings from the

Moreover
, great scientists
such
 as Stephen Hawking have already given us warning against interaction with
life
 forms on other planets. Human beings can live happily on
this
 planet if they utilize natural resources wisely
instead
 of exploiting them. There is no need to search for resources from
other
any of various alternatives; some other
another
 planet when there is no guarantee that they can help human species. In conclusion, in my opinion, relationship with the
life
 on other planets may have negative effects on the
life
 on
earth
. It is better to use the resources on
earth
 wisely and live here happily
instead
 of trying to colonize other planets. Sharing is caring!
