I Want to Know

,

Just as being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of wisdom, wanting to know—rather than passively accepting things as truth—is yet another mark of it.

“It is so easy to accept facts as they are, without trying to understand whether they are true or the reasons behind them,” taught Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“By keeping in mind the principle of ‘I want to know,’ it becomes easier to put things into perspective and think more critically.”

Vati understood it was a difficult lesson.

“How far are we supposed to want to know?” asked a young Esper.

“It’s a difficult question. But now that we know about Atma, the Shape of Balance, and Shala, the Shape of Time, it seems clear that keeping balance—since time is limited—should remain a priority.”

“This answer lies within yourself, and within your own StarDust.”
