A Difficult Future

Vangel, our little dog friend of the Fire element, gazed deeply into the future that The Seven Shapes were trying to create through One Daily Tale.

“This is a task that seems so difficult…” he thought.

And for good reason, the understanding of the world, following the end of the War of Chaos, had highlighted the need for the unity of the five elements to finally achieve true peace for all…

But he now held on to hope.

His meeting with Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, had rekindled within him a flame that had slowly faded, and had made him indifferent to the world in which he nonetheless lived.

“A difficult future does not mean impossible.”

“Whatever the element, there are Espers who are doing their best with what they have at their disposal. And even if they do not necessarily think about a bright future for all, their daily actions are already in line with the principles of One Daily Tale.”

“And of course, there are the future generations to take into account… No one wants an unlivable world for our dear children!

“Even if it seems unrealistic at first glance, each new day is a new opportunity to act for a better future for them. And not acting means letting an unbalanced society continue to destabilize… And history shows that this does not lead to a fairy-tale ending…”

    Appeal for the Future

    We quickly forget what we don’t see before our eyes. That may be why the history of wars and violence seems to repeat itself again and again.

    Us (and Them)

    Just as the brain needs failure to grow, it also needs to overcome adversity in order to learn. If there is no obstacle, why progress? The twist is that throughout history, this need for obstacles has sometimes taken the form of creating enemies. In many languages, this took the name of “barbarians.” In ancient times,…

    Muscles

    With age, we slowly begin to lose muscle mass naturally. And in many sedentary countries, desk work doesn’t help make up for this loss.

    Learn to Learn

    Guided by the 7 Shapes, the Espers realized that their StarDust was the result of the teachings shared by all of them. One of the important things they also understood was that, no matter what they tried to do, the will to do it was extremely important. The funny thing is, in order to learn,…
