Humility and Awe

Lune Lune was a little cat of the Water element. His adorable appearance contrasted with his personality, for he was very full of himself.

Having gradually lost his curiosity, he had also lost that gentle feeling of being amazed by everything nature has to offer.

But an encounter changed his mindset forever and helped him rediscover the humility that had been buried deep within him.

That day, he followed a young Esper boy named Guruo, who was running to attend a lesson taught by his favorite teacher, Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Guruo was the perfect example of an ideal student, and although this could somewhat put off some of his classmates, no one could deny the effort he put in every day to become a better version of himself.

Today’s lesson was about the Universe, in all its grandeur, its immensity, and everything that remained to be discovered and learned.

Lune Lune had never realized that the spectacle unfolding before him every evening, made of sparkling stars, was truly the manifestation of other possible worlds like Esperia.

He was overcome with such intense wonder that he felt a deep desire to learn more.

Little by little, his curiosity—not only for the stars, but also for all the treasures nature offers—became what it had once been when he was young.

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today.

    Habits

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits.

    The “Modern World”

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources…

    Responsibility

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things.

    Scales

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the…

    Smile!

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.…
