Accepting differences

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 seas, and through other forms such as clouds and rain, was much needed for nature to grow, especially on the hotter land of Fire.

Fire was used to build shelters, making use of the Earth they all stepped on.

Wind brought them the air they all breathed.

Lightning, to be truthful, was a bit more mysterious to most.

But now, they understood that it was indispensable for their StarDust to work.

“Being able to adapt and accept differences is a great step toward bringing peace,” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

    What’s the best advice you could give to a child? Actually, more than words, it is how we behave each day that has the greatest influence on the education of the young.
