The Planet Mars and its Inhabitants: The Urides God Theory
THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS ESSAY: The Urides God Theory
Eros Urides paints a very detailed picture of endless imagination in his short science fiction epic, “The Planet Mars and its Inhabitants,” written in the 1920’s. Urides does this by creating a complex yet believable story line of how life on Mars could be in comparison to our planet Earth. Outlining key details, which we will cover in this essay, Urides explains to us that life on Mars is not only much more advanced in the structure of how they live their lives, but they also bare a strong connection to the Spiritual figure, God. Part of this connection greatly separates the Martians educational system from Earths educational system. This connection, as pointed out by Urides, is the greatest key Mars has unlocked and in turn it has given endless possibilities to the Martian dwellers, whom, if truly existed, would be known to us as the greatest civilization in our galaxy.
The planet Mars may be considered the sister planet of Earth but the lives lived on Mars are very different from those lived on Earth. The educational systems on Mars are solely focused on becoming one with God. There is nothing more sacred then sharing a connection with the divine. All Martians attend school until the age of 16, which in Earths years would be age 32. This is because the Martian year is close to twice as long as the human year. Just like Earth, there are many universities on Mars. Students enter these universities straight from home. The home is considered the beginning of the young Martians education and this education lasts until they draw their last breath. In the home, the first teachers are the parents, unlike Earth, where the first teachers are considered to be those found in Kindergarten. Here, absolute faith in God is mastered. The first knowledge installed in the young is that of a spiritual awareness.
