Empathy Beyond Borders

What isn’t in front of our eyes is often ignored.

The place you live in is your own little world. If you were lucky enough, you were born in a wealthy country, at peace, where your basic needs are met each day.

But there are other places beyond the borders of your own space, where war is raging, and genocides are being committed.

Modern technologies have given us the ability to expand our little world to include the entire planet Earth.

We now have the tools to choose what we put in front of our eyes.

We can feign ignorance. We can claim it’s not our concern. But if you have the privilege to live without hardship, you also have a responsibility to act on behalf of those who were not as fortunate.

Adults may have had choices. Children did not.

Empathy goes beyond borders.

    Now that it was known and understood that using magic consumed Aether—the source of life for all living creatures on Esperia—it had become natural for the Espers to take care in how they used magic. How? Because their StarDust also produced Aether, they could determine how much magic each of them could use while still

    Shala was entrusted with a very difficult task: to guide the Espers in living fully in the present while honoring the past and striving for a brighter future. The cycle of day and night on Esperia was much like that of Earth, and the Espers needed rest during the night. For Shala, this natural rhythm

    When the 7 Shapes first began working on their project, they thought about how to make the best use of the StarDust. Because Shala was there, they understood that setting a daily time limit was essential to consider. They also all agreed that, for habits to be “realistically doable,” they needed to be simple and

    When the Chaos War ended, a moment of pure stillness was felt by all the Espers who had fought endlessly for years upon years.

    Who is really an NPC? If we take the analogy of one’s personal life as the main character in a game, then you are the hero of your story, surrounded by billions of NPCs. But what if you don’t think for yourself and simply act as dictated? Then you become an NPC in your own

    Have you ever felt lonely, even while standing in a room full of people, or when you think about the billions of other human beings living on this Earth we all share? When we think about loneliness, the reason can feel clear: we are all different, born with unique genes and shaped by experiences that
