One Daily Tale

🌎

25% of the population lacks the cognitive abilities to reach a good level of language proficiency, which is essential.

A question that often arises is that of destiny. Do we really have control over our lives?

Since I need to find a job, I find myself in the situation of someone who belongs to the 25.25% of the world’s population with an IQ lower than 90, which is supposedly the IQ necessary to use a language adequately for all administrative tasks.

If I’m not completely illiterate in Japanese, I’m far from a native level when it comes to topics or subjects I haven’t covered. This goes without saying, but “instant knowledge” doesn’t exist; we only know what we’ve learned.

The point of today’s reflection is not to feel sorry for myself, but rather to highlight the difficulties that more than a quarter of the world’s population face on a daily basis.

Not being comfortable reading is not just a burden for reading but also for learning, obviously. And someone struggling in their language will face other additional difficulties, such as the fear of expressing themselves, the fear of mockery, a sense of inferiority, and self-denial.

We quickly forget these differences, and we judge too quickly, in a more general way.

Does a person not express themselves, for example, because they don’t want to, or because they can’t?

Does the fact that the vast majority of people have no issues with language mean we should disregard others? Just because they don’t have the necessary abilities to do so?

The example of language is easy to understand for an expatriate who doesn’t master the language of the country they live in.

Immigration is a complicated issue. But in very simple terms, if there is no “need” to leave one’s country in the first place, there would be no immigration.

Looking at things from a global perspective, it almost becomes obvious that to solve immigration problems, providing the necessary resources to the countries of the people who emigrate is one of the key factors.

The reasons for fleeing one’s country are diverse, of course. But extreme poverty, malnutrition, and directly linked to these, lack of education, are among the determining factors.

Anyway, I need to work on my Japanese.

    When the 7 Shapes first began working on their project, they thought about how to make the best use of the StarDust. Because Shala was there, they understood that setting a daily time limit was essential to consider. They also all agreed that, for habits to be “realistically doable,” they needed to be simple and

    When the Chaos War ended, a moment of pure stillness was felt by all the Espers who had fought endlessly for years upon years. Even though the StarDust had finally been discovered, an entire world still needed to be rebuilt… Just the thought of such a colossal task brought feelings of hopelessness and inaction. This

    Kenko, the Shape of Health and Element of Earth, wasn’t the flashiest of all the Shapes, but she was always considered the one you could truly rely on. She was the living example that working on the fundamentals daily bears fruit, and that these basics become the foundation for everything else. Without good health, everything

    Who is really an NPC? If we take the analogy of one’s personal life as the main character in a game, then you are the hero of your story, surrounded by billions of NPCs. But what if you don’t think for yourself and simply act as dictated? Then you become an NPC in your own

    Have you ever felt lonely, even while standing in a room full of people, or when you think about the billions of other human beings living on this Earth we all share? When we think about loneliness, the reason can feel clear: we are all different, born with unique genes and shaped by experiences that

    When One Daily Tale was created from Vati’s vision, it was decided that prioritizing the education of the Espers from their earliest years was essential. “Children are like blank pages, ready to absorb any color. Now that we understand the existence of StarDust within every living being in Esperia, shouldn’t we fill this page with

    As the Shape of Balance, Atma practiced a different kind of magic from the Elemental Shapes. She liked to say that balance did not mean flatness at all, but rather waves! Her magic wove the five elements into flowing threads, combining them like a dance. When some elements grew stronger, others gently made way, allowing

    Since Atma’s birth, Shala loved spending time with her, for Atma was the perfect embodiment— the Shape of Balance— showing the importance of caring for one’s time. As the Shape of Time, Shala carried the difficult task of juggling past, present, and future. She knew it was hard for many to see with a long-term
