I think at best we will find very distant evidence of advanced alien life: Inspiring, but so far away and unreachable that we’ll never meet or communicate with them in any way.
Don’t know what’s worse: wondering if there is alien life or knowing there is alien life in a distant system somewhere but having no further information that can be learned about them.
