They Are Not Here to Help

One of the Alkoziran anthropologists who was studying me, once said, “Let me put it in terms you will understand. Humans just really creep us out.”

They are out there. Hiding with whatever truth is also out there.
They’re not here to help.

They don’t even like to think about us. The brave crewmen and scientists that must stand watch over and study earthlings, virtually always require extensive therapy to recover their mental health. It’s basically, for them, an extreme form of PTSD, or “battle fatigue”, as we used to call it.

Their primary mission is to keep us from leaving the solar system. There is also a strong fear-mongering conservative movement on Alkozira that is continuously advocating for our destruction. Not the destruction of earth, just humanity.  We’ll either be completely gone, or changed into something else you wouldn’t recognize.
The end of humanity as we know it.
A beautiful new vacation planet for the Alkozirans.

Recent events in U.S. politics have greatly strengthened the EIH  (Eliminate or Improve Humanity) movement on planet Alkozira.  Yes, I was disappointed to learn they also have acronyms.

Should the EIH fanatics prevail, the Alkoziran guard ships also have the capability to carry out their orders. It’s not like those science fiction movies. You know the ones.  The aliens are going to destroy the earth but after one of them spends time with us he realizes we have a good side and maybe should be given a second chance.  Nope, not going to go that way.

Bathing in Sanity

I lived on Alkozira for many years. Despite my inherent human creepiness, they were nice to me; and though it was a little lonely being the ultimate outsider, I loved it there. It is impossible to explain, but I’ll try to give you some idea. To live among the Alkozirans is to be continuously bathed in sanity – clear, open-minded, happy, relaxed, no anger, fear, or hatred. They see their fellow Alkozirans and their planet as I can only imagine our creator sees earth and humans – if he or she is anything like the God of love some claim him or her to be.

I’m not ready, yet, to describe what it has been like to return to humanity, after living on Alkozira.

I Am Here to Help

When I asked if I could return to earth to warn humanity of our possible doom, the Alkozirans said, “No problem.”

They said I could tell you all about them. I can tell you all I’ve learned. They wished me luck but said that no one would believe me, of course.

They don’t care what happens to us, but if we can get even a little saner, somewhat less cruel to one another, get our elected officials to compromise and work together to solve problems, and take a longer less short-term selfish view of our planet’s well-being, it will definitely help our case. They don’t bear us any animosity. We just scare the hell out of them.

The Alkozirans will take me back anytime. I could be safe. But I guess I’m stayin’.  It’s pretty noble of me.
