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.

    Esperia was rebuilding itself slowly but surely, upon foundations that now seemed right in everyone’s eyes. The StarDust and its existence had become widely accepted, and the initiatory journey that each Esper had to undertake to recover their own artifacts had become part of everyday life, far more quickly than the Seven Shapes had ever…

    On Esperia, the quest to recover the Seven Artifacts was now considered the essential foundation for entering adult life. Indeed, this adventure made it possible to learn about the world by crossing the lands of the five elements, and to better understand the sometimes abstract notions of time and balance. But above all, it also…

    No one, whoever they were, could change the face of the world alone. The Seven Shapes understood this well, and although they had now become the symbol of Esperia’s renewal, they also knew that the efforts would have to be made by everyone. And for that, first and foremost, it was important to accept one’s…

    As a civilization that considers itself advanced, it would seem obvious that the connection between nature, its benefits, and the fundamental need to sustain ourselves through the food it provides should be something everyone understands. The society of the Espers before the Chaos War, which had basked in luxury and consumption made possible through the…

    Gathering the seven artifacts was a quest that was also, perhaps above all, an adventure that allowed them to learn to better understand themselves. Who has never been surprised to hear their own voice, or to see themselves move and speak? So many small moments that allow us to become a little more aware of…

    The Chaos War had clearly shown that the cycle of wars would never end as long as people’s mindsets did not evolve. And the discovery of magic, which had made the civilization of the Espers more prosperous, had in no way changed the way they saw things. On the contrary, society was becoming increasingly individualistic…

    If the use of magic had brought many benefits to the daily lives of the Espers, the world before the Chaos War had changed enormously, for better and for worse. No one could have imagined how much society would change thanks to the new technologies made possible by magic. The population had exploded, as had…

    The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, at the end of the Chaos War, had also brought to light the existence of the magical artifact of balance. The Heptaract of Balance. This seven-dimensional hypercube was a perfect representation of the notion of balance that the Seven Shapes sought to promote for their society, rebuilt…
