Hunting for aliens
The man woke up in the morning. With a dream. He wanted to reach the stars and hunt for aliens in unearthly planets that orbit trillions of light years away. So, he built a Rocketship, that travel beyond the gravitational field of the earth, into the dark abysses of the space. And for years, and years he listened to the feedback, some electromagnetic signals, which were reflected back from his genius invention, travelling at snail speeds in cosmic scale. And he heard nothing. He heard nothing after burning, a trillion dollars on his amazing machine. Such a voyage. Yet, he did not give up. Failure of one small step would not bring down his spirits, as he had means and methods of accumulating dollars for a better starship, that can travel four times the speed, and using reusable boosters, he is planning to send multiple voyagers hunting for aliens in all the possible directions into the darkness of the universe. Wait till 40 years later till he gets answers to his calls. He is sure about contact this time.

Hunting for food
The man woke up in the morning. 12756km away from the former. With a dream. He wanted to feed his starving child. A piece of bread, a slice of a potato, or a spoon of sugar, which was not there inside his house, or his neighbor's kitchen. In his ragged cloths, covering his thin frame, just like his skin which draped over his bones could not embrace a muscle which was not there due to days and days of extended fasting, that he had to endure to feed his dying child, he stepped outside in search of work or food. He wasn't particularly angry at anyone or anything. As, existence of this man and his child was not in the minds of many people, they did not belong to this world. They were the real hungry aliens who were not awed by the rest of the world. There were no satellites in this part of the world which was sent for hunting for any evidence of life in these skins and bones. They would become carcasses in the dessert feeding hundreds of hungry vermin. Which is inevitable. Just the fate that they shared with hundreds of thousands of others who were born into their shared poverty.
But who is to blame? Maybe aliens that we are hunting have superpowers to increase the longevity of our selfish existence, that is a chance we should take among all our other priorities. There is no shared responsibility for feeding every hungry kid. The ones who brought out these hungry mouths are responsible or rather irresponsible people; hence we should distribute more condoms not food. We do not have enough resources to sustain a continuous supply of material to increase the likelihood of survival of these earthly aliens. So, let's just forget about these local ambitions and carry out universal ones.
Let's talk about colonizing Mars instead.
About far away galaxies that are triple the size of milky way and be amazed.
Lets, burn some oil, and vaporize gallons and gallons of water, just to keep the heat under control.
Let's build protocols to keep growing businesses.
Let's have conferences to discuss, about mass production of shoes.
Let's sleep in peace, not thinking about skinny bones in the other side of the world.
Who cares, I am stomach full tonight, and I just need Netflix and headspace.
A little bit of peace.
