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.
