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.

    Cha Cha, our beloved platypus, gazed at the cloudless sky, illuminated by countless stars that made him reflect on how small his own existence was compared to the vastness of the universe.

    Kenko, the Shape of Health and the Element of Earth, wasn’t the most eloquent of the Shapes. Her lessons were often very practical, and though she didn’t think much about it, she was the type who led by example. Of course, using one’s own body requires more than words. For exercise, theory alone isn’t enough—you

Not only the Espers of Esperia, but all living creatures—together with the plants and nature itself—delighted in listening to the wind filled with gentle melodies. The wind
