A Sick Society

The world before the Chaos War displayed many symptoms of a sick society, rotten to the core with heightened individual desires.

A world where appearances and showing off were the values held up for admiration.

Only visible results seemed to matter, regardless of effort or even truth.

Many individuals cheated and lied in order to present themselves in a way that would make them look good in the eyes of as many people as possible.

And this reached even the highest levels of a hierarchy that was already questionable.

A realization that sends shivers down the spine, especially for the youngest, who are often still quite naive about the world in which they must live, and in which they must participate despite themselves.

Playing the game proposed by society meant going against values that nevertheless seemed right when one stopped to think about them, even for a moment.

Being grateful for the natural resources provided by the planet, living modestly, and appreciating simple things. So many behaviors that were becoming increasingly out of step with a society devouring everything in its path.

But it was also in this context that the first seeds of hope for a more harmonious future world were planted…

    Scales

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand.

    Smile!

    The Great Library of Esperia

    In Esperia, one of the most respected places was the Great Library.

    Balanced States

    On Earth, many, many things have existed in a state of balance—long before the human species began dominating the planet.

    Take the Time

    When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being? I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.” Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can…

    The Brain

    Cha Cha thought that, theoretically, on Earth, even though the Seven Shapes are unknown to everyone, the human brain might be what a potential StarDust looks like! Feeding and exercising our body indirectly powers our brain, and the better the source of energy—what we eat—the better our brain functions. Learning, of course, but also interacting…

This is exactly what learning looks like! Without this kind of friction when we do new things, our brain would have no reason to change, adapt,…
