A Simple Speck Among the Stars

Before the Chaos War, amid the agitation of the world, Cha Cha often took the time to reflect, going against the need to always move faster in the society in which he lived.

Yet when admiring the sky and its stars, it is so easy to realize just how each person is nothing more than a simple speck among the multitude of stars.

If the vastness of the Universe can sometimes even become frightening, so vast and immense, realizing it also allows one to understand one’s own smallness.

The theory of the StarDust that he had developed also referred to this: its name evoked the Universe, and reflecting upon it could restore a little humility to anyone who took the time to think about it.

The Espers had taken control of the entire planet Esperia.

But few had developed their StarDust, and therefore few had truly understood who they themselves were.

For their Shadow was often unknown to them. The Espers no longer took the time to learn to listen to their inner voice, which was nevertheless a part of themselves.

The theory of the StarDust was perhaps the means to revolutionize this understanding for every Esper.

But who would truly make the necessary efforts to bring it to fruition

    A Life Ticket

    For any human being reading these lines, you have been given a life ticket—one you couldn’t refuse. You own this ticket, and you alone. How you choose to use it is entirely up to you. The kind of ticket you received may seem quite random: you may have been born into a wealthy family in…

  • Failures

    Failures

    There is a certain irony in how the human brain works: for us to learn and grow, we also need to fail personally. Babies do it naturally when trying to grab objects, sit up, or learn how to walk: they try, fail, try again, fail again… When this was understood by the Espers on Esperia,…

    Climbing

    Cha Cha liked studying human civilization and the various inventions humans had created—especially sports. One of them in particular captured his attention: climbing. He saw in it a philosophy of life: “You get to battle with yourself. You fail a lot, but try again a lot, and eventually succeed—or not. Sometimes what you lack is…

    Your Doors

    We can be taught many things. But others can only bring us to the doors—we must open them with our own hands. Opening those doors will be up to you. And you alone. Some doors are harder to open. Others you won’t even know exist—until you meet new people or live new experiences. Some doors…

  • Empathy

    Empathy

    What truly defines us as humans? What sets us apart from other species? Not our physical strength, nor our intelligence. It is our social abilities—our capacity to form groups of many individuals—that have led the human species to eventually dominate the Earth. Empathy is our ability to understand and share the feelings of another. It…

    Language

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?…

  • Natural Resources

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,…

    Habits

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits…
