I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners featured post. One thing that has caused more problems for humans than we can actually count is the fact that to be satisfied or contented with what we have is a very difficult trait. As much as wanting more is good, being contented and satisfied with what you have, no matter how small or how big, will save you from a lot of troubles. It is good to explore and try out new things and new places to see which works out well for you, but we humans end up doing too much or extra.
We humans like to try out new things, both those we know everything about and those we know nothing about, and even in the movies and in real life we have all seen that most of the time sticking to what we know or are familiar with is a lot better and safer. The breakout of viruses in movies always happens when a scientist decides to chart through unfamiliar territories, and then there is a mistake because it is their first time trying it out, and it becomes a problem, and if containment does not happen immediately, it becomes a bigger problem and escalates. All I am trying to say here is that sticking to what we know sometimes is better.
We have all left home before, probably visited an uncle or an aunty, or relocated from where we used to know to a new place entirely, and we all saw how things turned out; it took so much time to blend in and be like one of them, and this is for cities or places that actually gave strangers the chance to blend in. There are places and towns that are hostile towards strangers and will not even want to give them a chance to blend in and even go as far as making life uncomfortable for the strangers just so they'd leave.
Nothing beats operating within the space that you know very well, and one thing I have come to realize is that nowhere can replace home; it can offer you everything that home offers you but can never offer it the way home does. Another planet, town, or city cannot fill in the shoe of your hometown or planet perfectly, and you will tend to miss home and want to go back to it with every given opportunity, and that is a feeling I would really like to avoid.
So if another planet offers the same thing planet Earth offers, will I be willing to move there? My answer is no. Like I said before, one operates better in a planet or space they are more familiar with; moving to a strange plane will require starting all over, and that is not something I am willing to do. Left to me, I will say I stand a better chance here on earth instead of moving to an entirely different planet to start all over, no matter the opportunity it offers. Also, another planet cannot replace planet earth completely; there will be lapses and things that only planet earth can offer, so it is planet earth for me and not exploring any other planet.
