Changing Mindsets

Regretting the past does not change the world.

But it can help prevent us from repeating the mistakes made before.

It was with this mindset that the Seven Shapes had decided to try to change mindsets for a better world, fairer for everyone and finally in harmony.

This task, which had once seemed completely utopian, now appeared to be within reach.

The revelation of the StarDust before everyone’s eyes, even if only for an instant, at the height of the War of Chaos, was an unprecedented opportunity unlike any ever seen before!

Faya, the Shape of Willpower, had been particularly affected by the realization that she had not acted until then, leaving the door open to those whose only goal was to satisfy their own desires.

If only I had at least tried, instead of telling myself that everything was already lost from the start…

Swallowing back those words, Faya, along with the other Great Elements, developed their StarDust and gradually became what they were now known for: models of virtue for all, regardless of their element.

For changing mindsets is not just about words. We must act, and all of us, with our own StarDust within, have a role to play!

    Vingel, our little dog friend of the Fire element, gazed deeply into the future that The Seven Shapes were trying to create through One Daily Tale. “This is a task that seems so difficult…” he thought.

    Healthy Growth

    The discovery of the StarDust had led the Espers to take a closer interest in how to develop it. One thing was clear in any case: it already shone extremely brightly, naturally, during pregnancy, but also throughout childhood. The Seven Shapes had therefore thought it necessary to create a society that promotes the healthy growth…

    Losing Sight of What Matters Most

    Simba, our little monkey friend, had roamed across the lands of the different elements. He had noticed one thing: while the elements differ on paper, the behaviors of the Espers were often the same, regardless of the element. He could see carefree young Espers, parents worried by the news of the day, disparities between the…

    On Equal Terms

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus friend, was discussing one of his theories with Guruko. “When you think about a relationship on equal terms, we don’t usually think about comparing individuals from different countries. We often remain focused on a given country, often the one of our birth.” he thought. “Isn’t that normal? Many people…

    Without Discrimination

    Can we truly speak of equality of opportunity at birth when the place and conditions in which one is born vary greatly from one region of the planet to another? This was the reflection upon which Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had been focusing. The end of the War of Chaos had revealed that the…

  • Homeostasis

    Homeostasis

    The self-regulation of organisms, which tends to bring them back to a state of balance when there is a fluctuation in levels, is now well understood. Thus, excesses — whether too much or too little — are detected, and systems are set in motion to return to a balanced value beneficial to the continuation of…

    Once in a Lifetime

    What image comes to mind when you think of the expression “once in a lifetime”? A beautiful encounter, a new beginning, perhaps an unexpected event. On Esperia, the notion of time was not so different from that on Earth. But the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, had gradually changed the Espers’ approach to…

  • For a Common Goal

    For a Common Goal

    On paper, everything seemed clear and obvious. At least, for those who had taken the time to look into the problem. And that is no doubt where the root of the lack of cohesion for a common goal lies. Who truly took the time to look into the problem? To do so, one must first…
