Respond To Maple Street's Monster

What the figures tried to explain in this story called "Monters Are Due on Maple Street" means that for conquest, they don't necessarily have to come out from bombs, guns, nuclear weapons, etc. The most dangerous enemy for humans are themselfes. Why? Because many lives had been destroyed by toughts and attitudes come from mens such as suspicious destroys, prejudices kill, frightens and scared only search for a scapegoat.

The message that the Figures explain at the end of the story made me feel curious, but at the same time made me feel scared. I think that it is true because of what I read about Rod Serling's opinion;

"Thousand of lives were destroyed by suspicious and suggestion. People lost their
jobs, homes, and friends when they were accused of beeing members of the
Communist party,even though membership in the party was legal. During this time
some people made up stories about others in other to appear innocent themselves,
and many people were afraid to continue friendship with those who had been
accused or were suspected of beeing member of the Communist party..."

How would this story come that we, humans, are ourselfes number one enemy. Not by guns, by our minds. This is reflected on the world because same thing happened on Maple Street, the same thing would happen around the world. As the Figures said, "Maple Street is not unique" or "The world is full of Maple Streets".

What I think it would be more reallistic is that instead of alliens, should be some spirits doing that, that spirits are already proved, so it is posible that all this is made by some strange forces, etc. What people right now know about aliens, and u.f.o's is that they might think they are real, but they still don't have enough prove for saying that they do excist. They know about how their spacecraft look like, etc.
