Avoiding Unfounded Rumors

“We do not change completely from one day to the next. The years of conflict between the five elements will not be fully resolved in the blink of an eye. Nevertheless, now that common foundations have been established for everyone, it has become imperative to avoid continuing to spread unfounded rumors,” declared Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Today’s debate in the Wisdom section of the Great Library of Esperia concerned the importance of quickly resolving the problem of spreading knowledge that is heard without verifying its content.

The magic of certain Espers allowed them to spread facts at an astonishing speed, sometimes incomplete or even false, which could cause harm.

“It is important, when we receive new information, to be able to take a step back and reflect on its truth,” added Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

Faya, the Shape of Will, continued: “Those who have the ability to spread rumors through their magic also have the responsibility to verify, as much as possible, the facts they have learned.”

“Yes, because even if peace has finally returned to Esperia, unfounded rumors can very quickly destroy this newly gained balance, which will take time, day after day, to become more stable,” concluded Gurumin, the Shape of Compassion.

Because being able to feel compassion for

    To strive for peace among all the Espers, Esperia was rebuilt in such a way that every Esper had to take responsibility and take action, based on their own unique abilities.

    “Every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” Shala, the Shape of Time, would often remind the young Espers. From an objective point of view, as the Espers were living beings, the time they were able to spend was limited; thus, every single event is one that will never happen again. Even if circumstances may seem similar—for

    Esperia didn’t become the world we know it as—one of peace and harmony—in a day, nor easily. Every Esper had to go through hardships, but the end of the Chaos War finally became a much-needed rallying point, uniting and combining the desire for true peace for everyone. “Every Esper, at their own level, would have

There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus. Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take
