Failures

There is a certain irony in how the human brain works: for us to learn and grow, we also need to fail personally.

Babies do it naturally when trying to grab objects, sit up, or learn how to walk: they try, fail, try again, fail again…

When this was understood by the Espers on Esperia, it became evident that the inner fire brought by the Shape of Willpower, Faya, was one of the keys to the harmonious development of their civilization.

“Someone who hasn’t failed still hasn’t really tried up to their true potential.”

In cases of failure, balance is—as always—another key point. Too many failures won’t help, while too few won’t foster growth.

The Espers understood that the leap of faith taken by the younger ones was absolutely crucial.

This created a loop of responsibility: the younger ones became more responsible under the guidance of the elder ones.

    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 One Daily Tale was created from Vati’s vision, it was decided that prioritizing the education of the Espers from their earliest years was essential. “Children are like blank pages, ready to absorb any color. Now that we understand the existence of StarDust within every living being in Esperia, shouldn’t we fill this page with…

    As the Shape of Balance, Atma practiced a different kind of magic from the Elemental Shapes. She liked to say that balance did not mean flatness at all, but rather waves! Her magic wove the five elements into flowing threads, combining them like a dance. When some elements grew stronger, others gently made way, allowing…

    In Esperia, caring for one’s StarDust soon became one of the most important duties an Esper received from the youngest age. Why? Simply because the Seven Shapes understood that with healthy habits came the ease of accomplishing good things without needing much effort or attention. They also knew that with the existence of magic, Espers…
