One Daily Tale

A Simple Life

The development of technologies based on fossil fuels has changed the way the richest countries ruling the world live and behave. Not that anyone would rather return to the Stone Age, but when we recognize the physical limitations of planet Earth, we understand that those who will suffer are not only the forms of biodiversity we destroy every day, but humankind itself.

While the consequences will not appear instantly, they will come if nothing changes—and it will be the future generations who bear them. We now have all the knowledge to understand that the lifestyle promoted by the wealthiest only adds to the burdens that future human beings will have to struggle with.

Do we care so much about ourselves that we willingly endanger the lives of our children?

Not consciously, for most. And this is where the idea of living a simple life can play a role.

Returning to the essential—what truly matters.

What is really important to you?

    Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or

    Who hasn’t heard the term, but who has really thought about it? Guruko, who was very intrigued by the human race on Earth, was once again looking through the magical mirror at their civilization. “They are quite interesting living beings, aren’t they?” said Cha Cha, her platypus companion, who had just walked into the room

    What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were. The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace. They were living examples of what they wrote as guides for everyone, themselves included. In the past,

    This time, Kenko, the Shape of Health, raised the difficult question of exhaustion—of being completely worn out. “I understand that some of you think this may be a sign that you are working hard, or doing your best,” said Kenko. “But you also need to remember how your StarDust works, and how it needs rest

    The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers. Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space… With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.
