Hope

When learning about the story of humankind, Guruko began to feel overwhelmed and sad by the countless wars and conflicts that had plagued—and continue to plague—our shared planet we call Earth.

Grandma Luna noticed that Guruko wasn’t her usual self, full of joy and smiles.
“Is something wrong?”

Guruko spoke about the contents of the history book she was reading.

“Yes, humans can be cruel and do things that don’t make any sense. But we must never lose hope, even in the face of injustice.”

“Why? What’s the point? The cycle of hatred seems endless…”

“Because there are innocent children in this world who haven’t done anything wrong. They were simply brought into it.”

And Cha Cha, our beloved philosopher platypus, added:

“A world like Esperia may seem like a utopia, but humankind has the choice to strive toward a similar society. With One Daily Tale. With hope.”
