The two opposing sides to this conversation and many like this have to do with the way one percieves life to be in general and how this perception guides ones actions in life.
Meaning, emotional. What one feels in their heart to be true.
and, intellectually, what one must have proven through reason to be accepted.
However, being human dictates that we use both of our intelligences to come to an effective decision, or to what we will accept as true.
The amount to with which we use either one of these faculties depends on you.
A balance of both would prove to be most effective in ones own life.
Life devoid of either one of these would not work, being human.
What good would it do to be entirely rational if there was no goal of attaining some type of pleasure from doing so.
Same with being entirely hedonistic, doing what ever felt good in the moment could have dire consequences. Having unprotected sex,Eating nothing but chocolate and shooting heroin.
We are emotional and intelectual.
Trying to convince the other to listen to their hearts at the exspense of their reason, or reason at the exspense of their emotions will not work if ones intentions are good and the goal is communication.
It takes both, on both sides.
What are your intentions when comunicating on any thread.
Is it to genuinely learn something to further your own happiness.
Or are you looking to clash with others, even if not intentional or done consciously.
To share, or to take.
Communictaion can be broken down into one of these two categories.
A loving response, to give and share.
Or a cry for help, or make others suffer or take loss.
This is communication in all its forms.
Back to the communication of the crop circles.
My heart tells me there is something to them, aside from the fakes.
However my reason tells me not to accept as a fundamental truth until proven in some more concrete way.
Meaning not to build my lifes actions on them as being fundamentally true.
This is good for my health in all ways, not beleiving in concepts at the drop of a hat or until a specific level of criteria has been met is healthy to a point. Making life altering decisions based on cetain information can have drastic consequences.
Symbols and pictures are universal. A type of universal communication.
I would have to believe that the aliens are aware of us human beings having a supremely sensitive side to our properties of being human.
Therefore understand that a sudden appearance would indeed frighten the crap out of us putting us into immediate fight or flight!
It is unfortuane that in general, we as a race our still dictated by our emotions, which does have its negative effects as well if not balanced with reason.
Most of the crop circles tend to have a ying/yang effect to them.
Or a fundamental meaning. Describing pictures of energy more or less.
Sorry I am a lttle vague here, I dont have ALL day.
For instance you will not find to many pictures involving more than one scenario.
Such as, a guy,sitting on a chair, eating a plate of food, watching T.V.
Nothing with more than one event happening.
Most of the pictures evoke images of peace and knowledge to myself.
I would beleive that these are merely signs to let us know in as little of a startling way as possible that they are here.
