  • Planet H3lp – A Children’s Book Explaining Many Troubles Facing Humanity, Including Racism Through a Science Fiction Story

    Planet H3LP was very concerned with its neighbor Planet Earth. The inhabitants of Planet H3LP have studied Earth for millions of years, and no period had alarmed them as much as the last 700 years. They witnessed sicknesses and wars. They had even seen some science, that is not proven to be true, trying to justify the exploitation of others. Exploitation means to take advantage of someone for one’s benefit. Some people were so greedy that they even enslaved other people to enrich themselves; disregarding the feelings, suffering of others.

    The inhabitants of Planet Earth (Earthling’s) wisdom was not on the same level as the people who populated Planet H3lp (H3lplings). The humans on Planet Earth’s intelligence was so behind that they never even knew about Planet H3lp. Earth’s people thought that Mars and Venus were their only neighboring planets. But the beings of Planet H3LP knew better, and the H3lplings were always very much aware of Planet Earth and its inhabitants.

    It was Manties first day at the plant, and it was normally a very chaotic environment, but there seemed to be more going on today.

    Reports were coming in from Earth, leaving the H3lplings unsettled and concerned. Humans needed immediate assistance. They did not even realize how serious the situation was. Manties saw his colleague Santiess standing outside his office, he approached him and asked, if he had heard the news.

    “Santiess, did you hear the new reports that came from Earth today?” Manties asked.

    “No, what’s going on, is everything okay?” asked Santiess.

    Manties answered, “Well the humans are still not getting along, and they fail to help each other. Now their environment is in great danger.”

    “Well that doesn’t sound good. Why can’t humans see that they need each other? Why can’t they see that they have more in common, than they do differently?” Santiess wondered.

    “I don’t know, maybe we can come up with something to help them awaken.” Manties responded.

    After fully evaluating this new information, and after reading the full report from Earth, Santiess desperately stated, “Just look at these numbers. Look at their poor water quality. Look at their poor air quality. Look at the pollution of their oceans!”

    “What is wrong with their oceans?” Manties asked.

    “The water on Earth is becoming acidic which makes it dangerous for marine life. This is not natural, nor are the plastic islands in the ocean made up of all the plastic the humans use.” Santiess replied.

    “These Earthlings need to see that if they want continue to survive as a species, they will need to tackle these problems together as one.” Manties answered.

    “Yes, we must find a way to make them see that they must live in harmony with other beings on the planet, and with the planet itself. There must be something we can do to help them. They are so distracted by diversions, meaning things meant to distract them, that they can’t focus on what’s truly important.  For example, if you put them in front of some glowing box called television, you can watch them as they become statue-like, with their eyes glued to the screens.

    They will also sit like mindless spectators for three hours to watch a sporting event, but will not take 2 minutes to make a phone call or write an e-mail demanding change, when something is unjust.” Santiess declared.

    “Their new technology is even making food less healthy. But they will never be able to address these problems, if the humans continue to fight each other, and treat each other differently as if some people are worth more than others. They do not seem to understand that they are all the same. People come in all colors. Humans have different skin colors because their melanin levels vary. Melanin is a pigment making molecule, protecting the skin from the sun. The more sun a person is exposed to the more melanin is produced, therefore darker skin. Pigment is a natural colorant. That is the only difference between these people. They must learn that, there is one race and it is the human race.” Manties explained.

    “The people of Planet Earth must also learn that they actually grow enough food to feed their entire world, and no one should ever go to bed hungry. They should set better priorities, focusing on education and morals.” Santiess pleaded. 

    Both H3lplings left the room feeling very frustrated with what was going on. They both wished they could help their neighbors on Planet Earth.

    The news spread fast and everybody on Planet H3lp was talking. “Can you believe the people of Planet Earth; their climate is warming and all they can do is fight with each other instead of dealing with this serious problem together?” two H3lplings wondered.

    Everyone was very concerned.

    All life on Planet H3lp was busy contemplating what to do, as the cities were abuzz with chatter and all were constantly brainstorming, searching for a solution to solve this dilemma on Earth.

    The Elders finally came to a conclusion. It was decided that they would develop a secret sound can. This would be flown immediately to earth, exposed on humanity, and the sound would help awaken the people, so they can see that there was still time to save humanity and Planet Earth.

    Many volunteered but only two H3lplings would be selected for the mission.

    They worked day and night, for four days, and finally they had developed something, that just might work.

    The big day finally arrived.

    Everyone left their posts, and went off to wish the pilots good luck.

    Chanssy and Manties were chosen to fly to Earth, and carry out the mission. Chanssy said his goodbyes to his friends, while Manties was inside the spaceship, making sure everything was ready for takeoff.

    They all stood motionless, not knowing what to expect. If this really worked, then their neighbors on Earth would know what it would be like to truly live in peace with one another.

    Sakel, the head engineer in charge of the planet’s Research and Development department, took a deep breath before he softly stated, “I really hope this works because these people really need our help.

    After an undetected landing Chanssy and Manties left the spaceship, looking for humans.

    “You there, stop!” said Chanssy, pointing to the first human he saw. He pulled out the secret sound making can (P.T.G. 27500), and used it as instructed.

    “I hope this works.” Manties thought.

    “Awaken people!”

    The people of Earth heard the sound, and it somehow opened their eyes. It was a sound unlike they had ever heard before. There was a bit of everything in the sound, they could hear sadness and pain, joy and laughter. The sound did something to them, it rubbed off all the programming and somehow, they awakened and compassion filled their souls. Something had definitely happened, and it transformed them. At once, humans started behaving differently towards one another and they could now see, that they should all take care of one another. People should end all suffering, make life better for all, and take care of Mother Earth.

    And this made everyone, including Santiess very happy.

    People started helping each other, and they were all much happier for it. It made them feel good to assist each other, and want to look out for each other.

    People also stood up for each other and fought for human rights and their environment.

    Whenever someone was being treated unfairly, they stood up for one another. They finally realized that all people are the same, and that they must always speak out and stick up for one another.  

    The mission was a success, and the world was now a better, happier place. Earth’s inhabitants actually felt like things were going to be better from now on. Hope was restored.

    Planet H3LP continued to keep a watchful eye on Planet Earth, and if they ever needed their assistance, they would be happy to help.
