Be in shape

Today’s modern world, especially in many wealthy countries, is facing an issue: obesity.

We now have many machines that make our lives easier and more effortless.

But just as wisdom is gained by reflecting on problems, your body—and how in shape you are—is a reflection of how dedicated you are to yourself and to those you care for.

Because being in shape isn’t just for you. It shows that you care about others, that you don’t want to worry them by becoming sick.

And as always, this is something only you can do. No one can eat properly or exercise in your place.

Learning more about how to stay healthy—and how our brain connects this knowledge to the effort we’re willing to give—are further signs that a balanced life is essential.

Let’s be in shape!

But sometimes, or even…

    Reflecting on a Global Education

    Before the Chaos War, Esperia had never been so divided over matters that, nevertheless, had previously been understood among the five elemental lands. Tensions were rising, trust was at its lowest, between the elements, but also within some of the lands themselves.

    What Do We Really Need?

    It was a question that often came up in the debates at the Great Library of Esperia, which, since the end of the Chaos War, had served Espers from all over the world as a place to exchange ideas, discuss, and try to find compromises on difficult issues. The Chaos War had indeed brought to…

    Investing Time Every Day

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually become accustomed to having everything done almost instantly.
