A Trap Named Passivity

Isn’t it easy to simply watch what’s in front of our eyes and go on with our own lives? Yet what we can see now extends far beyond our neighborhood — the entire world is at our doorstep.

Of course, no one can carry all the world’s problems on their own shoulders. But that doesn’t mean we cannot embrace our responsibility as human beings sharing the limited resources of the only planet we have.

Passivity is the trap that hinders change in this world.

And sadly, those who act are not always the “good guys.” On the contrary, greed and the pursuit of fame or status are often what drive action.

There are billions of human beings on Earth. If billions of people shared not only a planet, but also values grounded in physical reality…

There would be no better time to act than now.

    It had been a while since we last took a look at Guruko and Simba, her little platypus companion. As they were studying human society on Earth, both were surprised and shocked by its development. “How can these living beings sometimes be capable of creating such wonderful things, yet at other times be so cruel

    Though the discovery of the StarDust was a huge leap forward for Esperia, there was still a lot of work to do.

    “What truly matters?” This question was raised by Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.“Related to this question, what truly matters to you? may even be a better one,” she said.
