Children

If the debate between nature and nurture has endured through the ages, looking at it from the perspective of brain development makes it clear that nurture plays a significant role in shaping who a person becomes as an adult.

Even in the womb, before the cognitive parts of the brain have fully developed, the emotional centers are already beginning to learn.

This is why children are so full of life, have an insatiable curiosity, and seem completely absorbed in their own world.

They are living sponges, brimming with wonder and innocence.

Then comes the environment they grow up in—the presence or absence of love from their caregivers, the compassion or lack thereof from their teachers…

So many factors come into play, each one shaping the child, day by day, into the adult they will eventually become.

As adults, we have much to learn from that innocence, don’t you think?

    If every individual on this Earth is unique, then to us, our mother is even more unique. A natural bond is formed during pregnancy and through breastfeeding, a period when, as newborns, we are entirely dependent on our parents’ care and love.

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and the Element of Fire, liked to put into practice the very principles she taught at the Great Library of Esperia.

    This may sound obvious, but as you eat healthier, you become healthier. Yet, when we look at what is consumed in the wealthiest countries on our planet, it simply doesn’t make sense. Companies earning millions of dollars sell sugar-filled foods and drinks—because they sell. Why? Because adding sugar makes the product addictive, and your brain…

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, pondered where to begin if a civilization had no knowledge of the Seven Shapes. Surely, neither harmony nor peace could exist in such a world.

    At the end of one’s life, what will we regret not having done more of in our own unique journey? For many, in the modern societies of the richest nations ruling this planet—and mostly destroying its nature and our only living habitat called Earth—the regret won’t be about money, time spent working, or the possessions…

    The development of technologies based on fossil fuels has changed the way the richest countries ruling the world live and behave. Not that anyone would rather return to the Stone Age, but when we recognize the physical limitations of planet Earth, we understand that those who will suffer are not only the forms of biodiversity…

    Shala, the Shape of Time, understood better than anyone how powerful habits were for the Espers. To nurture their StarDust, it was important that those habits be as healthy and beneficial to society as possible. Why? Because time each day is limited, and the StarDust functions in a special way: a few minutes of daily…

    It is now widely accepted that climate change is happening—and that its consequences are rather bleak. On top of that, we also understand that the fuels causing this crisis are limited, as are all resources on our shared planet, Earth. Meanwhile, the entire system remains rooted in a growth-oriented economy that fails to take into…
