 Dear People of the Planet Earth,

You probably know the planets as Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Well, you are wrong…

There is another planet and, no, I am not talking about Pluto— ugh their creatures are so annoying; no wonder why they have been downgraded! Anyway, there is another planet— as I said— which is where I am from. It is called Krula. 

Krula is my home; your Earth is like our Krula- but an undeveloped version of it. Yep, it is true there are “aliens” with “advanced” technologies living in space, watching you, studying you, and controlling you. No, no don’t worry, I’m just kidding. We aren’t that cruel. We are very similar to you guys, but, of course, there are some differences. You guys still need oxygen to survive, whereas we don’t necessarily need it. We just like the smell of it. You guys eat to survive; we eat because we like the taste. You guys work to earn money for your life; we work because we want to— we like to be occupied. Yeah, that’s pretty much it. You guys do most stuff because you need to. Us? We do everything because we want to. 

You guys don’t know that we exist because if you did you would be jealous. You would want to live like us. But you can’t because there always must be at least one planet whose creatures are able to feel. Yes, I said “feel”. I probably should have mentioned it earlier, we cannot feel any emotion. We learn about them when we are approximately 138 years old in school. For example: jealousy is bad; happiness is good. 

 

Oh, and time works differently here. We start school when we are 130, graduate when we are 500. The thing you call a “month” is our year. Don’t worry, you will get used to it. I have always loved you guys. Learning about your planet, your lives, your rules… Earth studies was one of my favorite classes at school— along with socialism and the study of the laws of Venus. 

Anyway, now that you know the basic stuff, you should know our purpose, our mission, our whole goal. Here is the truth: you guys were our lab rats. We tested something. It was something so big that it changed the whole universe as you know it. We tested to see what would happen if a creature could feel. Well, there were some pros like feeling love, happiness, trust… There were also cons like anger, sadness, loneliness… The results are positive. I mean, our general board hasn’t officially announced it yet, but I can assure you the results were positive. 

Also, just so you know, there is no such thing as death...So stop killing each other. When you “die” you just wake up on a different planet. But, whatever, that is a whole new topic…

Where was I again? Oh, yes, results. The results were positive as I said, so from now on, we will all have emotions (except for the creatures of Pluto, they are refusing as always). I want to have some emotions as soon as possible because they seemed fun from what we learned in our lessons at school. We would bond more with each other. For example, I can’t wait to feel love for the first time. 

You guys are so lucky and you are not even aware of it. You get to feel all that stuff and you are still not thankful. You always want more money and it is so ridiculous. I don’t understand why you do it. Don’t do things to earn money, do them to enjoy your life on Earth! You guys have so many emotions to feel but don’t have the time to make the best out of them since you waste your life on money. So, enjoy stuff. Be positive. And most importantly, be ready and open to new things… 

Small spoiler: we are going to come and visit you in a couple of earth months. Everything will make sense once we arrive. Just stand by and enjoy all the changes that will happen. Please don’t hesitate to ask me anything about our system, I will be your guide. Lastly, let me give you a piece of advice: always smile once we arrive. We enjoy seeing you smile.

Note: Here is my contact info, you can “text” me from this number: 642wo7m5j)

Sincerely,

A Krulan Who Wants To Help :)
