Healthy Growth

The discovery of the StarDust had led the Espers to take a closer interest in how to develop it.

One thing was clear in any case: it already shone extremely brightly, naturally, during pregnancy, but also throughout childhood.

The Seven Shapes had therefore thought it necessary to create a society that promotes the healthy growth of children as early as possible; and since the time of pregnancy was also involved, the circle was complete.

It was necessary to make society healthier as a whole.

“Given the society we know, the starting point is quite far from our goal,” declared Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

“Yes, but now that we know the StarDust develops thanks to the five elements, we also now have the main guidelines to follow in order to reach our objective!” exclaimed Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Kenko, the Shape of Health, continued:

“For a healthy society, we must allow the healthy growth of the youngest. And that requires excellent health, both physical and mental, for our dear children.”

“We must think about the future in the long term, and not stop at immediate profits, which are often harmful when viewed more broadly: protecting the environment or refocusing on ‘good values’ must finally become central to our discussions.”

    There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,

    The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and

    Improve each other

    The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others. Why? Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well. Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the

    Learn from others’ mistakes

    Though Esperia had finally managed to create a stable society, nothing was perfect. Many Espers still opposed the new rules set by the Seven Shapes. But this too served as a lesson to grow from. Every Esper is different, and the ways we adapt to new situations differ as well. The Shadows of some Espers

    Day after day

    The habits we build, one small step at a time, are like seeds that must be nurtured gently but steadily each day in order to bear fruit. “One step a day, day after day,” could be a way of thinking that every Esper remembers when seeing Shala. A few minutes of training or work may

    The Seven Shapes were discussing how Esperia had changed since the discovery of the StarDust. “Before, we didn’t even know we shared the same planet,” exclaimed Vati. “Nor did we know that all the different Elements are just parts of the same source, the StarDust,” thought Eklea. “It was a long journey that led us

    What’s the best advice you could give to a child? Actually, more than words, it is how we behave each day that has the greatest influence on the education of the young. Faya, the Shape of Willpower, had mastered this principle and taught it in her own way. “It is our responsibility to act according
