Focusing only on the cruelty and missing the beauty is similarly misguided as focusing only on the beauty and missing the cruelty. A bit like focusing on our weakness and not seeing our indomitable spirit Remember: an alien species may sing a siren song of peace, but we must be cautious.

@@1001011011010 of course but, if they didn't wish peace then they'd likely just kill us all instantly, they have the technology to do so after all, keeping us as slaves would be illogical and eating us pretty much pointless, I mean there's many better species for consumption on earth that they could just mass-produce, logically speaking for such a species there'd be no reason to keep us alive other then maybe for entertainment. likely it would be a peaceful interaction or an incredibly quick genocide, beating any previous records humanity ever has set.
