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.

There was the natural cycle of water: clouds formed from the oceans, turned into rain, and flowed back through rivers to the seas. There was also the natural movement of winds, as warmer air tends

    When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being? I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.” Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can
