Bended truth

Not long ago, we talked about the importance of deepening one’s knowledge of the information that flows through modern society.

Because by being aware that what is displayed as truth is not always the case, and is often bent by those in power, it becomes possible to detach ourselves from the ways they try to shape people’s minds.

Even on Esperia, led by Yakara, some individuals began to preach their own truth about how the Chaos War ended, and how Yakara was the sole leader and benefactor of Esperia.

“Who are we supposed to believe then?” was the pertinent question—one that only the Espers with enough awareness could ask themselves.

The younger ones, especially, were soon blinded by the speeches of Yakara, who promised wealth and glory to anyone who chose to follow in his footsteps.

For a young Esper, the “choice” was often quickly decided… Who would naturally want to restrain themselves for the good of the world when they are offered a way to avoid making the effort themselves?

Are you able to perceive the bended truth that surrounds you?

    Perspective

    When the StarDust first appeared before the Five Elements, and the Espers who had battled for an endless time, it brought an eerie sensation of plenitude and stillness.

    Sad but True

    Climate change caused by humans is a fact. In just a few hundred years, the use—and abuse—of fossil fuels to develop “human civilization” has shaped a world whose dire consequences we can only begin to fathom.

    Mental Overload

    Simba, our lovely little monkey-like creature, heard something extremely valuable. Not only does the body have limits, but so does the mind! If you exercise too much, it can lead to injuries. The same is true for mental health. The mind is like a reservoir that can fill with all kinds of emotions. Sometimes it…

    Initial Condition

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, often reminded her students that the Initial Condition of a situation has a significant impact on its outcome. Does that seem obvious? Perhaps—if you’ve thought about it. Does it mean we are bound by where we start? Of course not. But realizing that the starting point is not the same…

    Where ignorance is bliss…

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that…

    The Chaos War

    It took quite a long time before the Shape of Balance, Atma, and the meaning behind the word “Balance” finally became one of the accepted and evident keys to harmony in Esperia. In principle, it’s simple! In a world with limited resources, there is a clear need for restraint among the living beings who share,…
