Even a fool can have a good idea

In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential.

What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength.

What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help.

Some new technologies had made dialogue between different opinions particularly difficult.

Vati then reminded that even wise people can be wrong, and that even fools can have a good idea.

Remain humble. Without false modesty.

Indeed, the Espers had, for example, still not realized how much the use of their magic was destroying the environment of their planet.

The Espers of the different elements could no longer truly exchange, as everything had become either all white or all black; accepting that others might be right was no longer a possibility.

Little by little, this had deteriorated already fragile relationships between the five elements, which had not yet realized that they were part of a whole.

    At the end of one’s life, what will we regret not having done more of in our own unique journey?

    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

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, was certain of one thing: unless the basic needs of the Espers were made a priority, Esperia would never know true peace. The right to proper sleep, and access to healthy food and clean water for all, were the very first steps toward creating a harmonious society. These fundamentals were

    The Shape of Awareness and Element of Lightning, Eklea, had quite an electric temperament. She loved to bounce from place to place, and as swiftly as roaring thunder, she would try to teach consciousness to anyone willing to listen. But when someone was truly all ears, she could also calm down, creating a gentle electrical
