One Daily Tale

🌎

Inhuman

History has shown many times how human beings have been capable of atrocities toward other human beings.

The irony is that in the age of AI, these same humans praise the greatness of humanity, claiming that AI will never be able to have feelings or experience emotions.

Yet we are also living in a time when information technologies allow us to witness in real time inhuman acts. And it has become a new normal.

Of course, no one has superpowers to carry all the suffering of humanity on their own shoulders.

But everyone has a role to play at their own scale.

Having compassion is not something innate. It is something that must be cultivated daily, like all the things that pass through our brain.

We do not have the means to see it, so we forget it, but our humanity resides there.

Taking care of our brain is finally taking responsibility for our own humanity.

    The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought. They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to

    The Seven Shapes were reflecting on how things had changed since the end of the Chaos War. “The discovery of the StarDust was truly the key to understanding ourselves,” thought Vati. “Yes, and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was also a missing element in being able to create One Daily Tale,” said Shala. “In order

    Faya admired the Espers who gave their all when a new challenge stood before them. She respected the most those who used their utmost effort, even if the outcome wasn’t as good as expected, or even ended in complete failure. “As long as you did everything you could, there will be no reason to regret.”

    Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Human emotions may be what truly define us as “unique” among other living species. We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we

    Among all, Vati was recognized as a true representation of Wisdom. But she liked to say that it was never a natural gift; it was nurtured with dedication and time. When asked how to persevere in becoming wiser, she would answer like this: “To keep an open mind and adapt to as many situations as
