Compassion Without Borders

To rebuild Esperia, the Espers first had to become aware of a certain reality: they were all in the same boat, which they called Esperia, after the name of their planet. It was essential for everyone to work together to avoid destroying the only ecosystem they were privileged to benefit from, and on which their survival depended.

They therefore needed to open up new ways of thinking that had never been explored before and develop compassion for everyone, regardless of their origins. This was essential to creating a fair future for all and finally living in harmony with nature.

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, understood well that this would not be an easy task.

Years and years of conflict between the different elements had created prejudice and resentment towards one another.

And letting go is not easy, especially when the other side does the same.

Yet common ground can be found when both sides make an effort towards a shared goal that brings them together.

The destruction of a large part of the planet’s ecosystem during the Chaos War had made a deep impression on everyone around the world, and the revelation of the StarDust had woven the first threads of a bond that would change Esperia forever.

This was the birth of the principles taught by One Daily Tale…

    I Want to Know

    Just as being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of wisdom, wanting to know—rather than passively accepting things as truth—is yet another mark of it. “It is so easy to accept facts as they are, without trying to understand whether they are true or the reasons behind them,” taught Vati, the Shape…

    Reflections on how to build a world with harmony at its center led the Seven Shapes to place balance at the heart of the matter.

    A Decisive Time

    Shala and Vati discussed extensively the development of StarDust throughout the lifetime of an Esper. One of their conclusions was that even before the birth of a new Esper, the time spent in the mother’s womb had already begun to shape what its future StarDust would eventually become. Broadly speaking, childhood is the “decisive time.”…

    Beliefs

    We now understand that humans are drawn to stories. Long before the digital era—or even before writing—knowledge was passed down through generations by stories told aloud. Whenever someone tells a story, it is no longer reality but a fiction that carries beliefs within it. The natural fear of danger within our species makes us adopt…

    A Common Resonance

    For this lesson, which was considered one of the most difficult, Faya put a great deal of effort into teaching the Espers about resonance. Though Faya preferred to put things into practice, this lesson was particularly abstract, which is why she asked the other Shapes to help her. “The most difficult part about resonance,” said…

    For your loved ones

    Kenko and Gurumin worked together on this course about health and how to promote it, so that even the reluctant Espers would try their best. “I’m free to do as I like!” said a young Esper who didn’t enjoy listening to advice. “Yes, of course you are,” said Gurumin gently. “But why can’t I skip…

    Put things into perspective

    You can only see the world through your own perspective. But understanding that is, in itself, a big step toward becoming more aware of your surroundings. Why is it important? Because putting things into perspective helps you face difficulties with greater resolve, feel more empathy for others’ situations, and think more critically. What if I…
