Balance at the Heart of Physical and Mental Health

On Esperia too, health was often at the center of discussions, and for a good reason: seeing suffering is not something one wishes for, neither for oneself, nor for loved ones, nor for strangers, nor even for those who may have caused us harm.

This last point may certainly lead to another debate, but a truly healthy-minded person would never consider seeing another individual of the same species suffer.

The civilization of the Espers, since the discovery of the StarDust, had understood one essential thing: nurturing their StarDust placed their own health at the center of their priorities.

This was one of the reasons why the society of Esperia had been redesigned to allow and encourage all Espers to take care of their StarDust.

“Day after day, developing one’s five elements, in a balanced way.”

While the Earth element, Kenko’s element, was the one most directly connected to good physical health, mental health required the balance of the other elements.
