Beauty in sunny and rainy days

“Why can’t every day be sunny? I don’t like it when it rains…” asked a young Esper.

“Your point of view is very understandable,” replied Atma, the Shape of Balance.

“But think about this: if it were sunny all the time, the nature of Esperia would be completely different, as it needs rain to grow.”

“Oh, I didn’t think about that,” he acknowledged.

“Some people misunderstand balance as a flat, unmovable line. But in truth, it looks much more like the waves of the ocean, going back and forth with a gentle rhythm.”

“This kind of cycle can be seen in many daily things, and the weather you just noticed is one of them.”

“So, do we always need to accept things as they are?” asked the now-intrigued young Esper.

“Until now, the Espers have used their magic as they pleased, without thinking of the consequences for the natural landscape of Esperia.”

“While it made their lives easier, it had consequences for the flow of Aether, which is the source of not only their magic, but all life on Esperia.”

“It is possible to keep harmony when we also understand the beauty in both sunny and rainy days.”

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and

    Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.
