Fair and just

Every Esper of Esperia acknowledged one thing about Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy: there was something special about her.

It was somewhat difficult to explain, but her behavior always smelled of pureness, and this led her to become the living image of fairness and justice as well.

Why? Because being able to feel compassion for others also leads to wanting fairness for everyone.

But Gurumin always said that, just like the other Shapes, she hadn’t received a gift she was born with. Throughout the years and the experiences she had accumulated, slowly and daily, she was able to develop the qualities she was admired for now.

She admitted that, of course, some Espers were more inclined toward empathy, but she understood that working on it made all the difference.

And for an Esperia that aimed for peace and harmony, having fair and just behavior was an example that every Esper could offer to others.

“If you are not able to be fair and just yourself, no one will do it in your stead.”

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…

    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…

    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…

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…

    At the Great Library of Esperia, there was a special space dedicated to children. The Seven Shapes soon came to understand the importance of children for a society that sought peace. They realized that the qualities children naturally possessed were the very qualities adults needed to preserve for true harmony to exist. Indeed, a child’s…

    The young Espers were surprised by this lesson from Vati, the Shape of Wisdom. They believed Vati knew everything—that no question was ever left unanswered—since she was respected as the wisest of all in Esperia. Yet, it was Vati who said “I don’t know” the most. Ironic, isn’t it? But having the courage to accept…

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet.
