Life Is Full of Detours

The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet.

Some, however, did not understand this notion:
“Wouldn’t it be a boring life if it were simply lulled in balance?”

But life is never a straight line; it is full of detours. The result of the highs and lows that compose it creates a balance that is important to perceive.

It is the same for our emotions!

Sometimes we are joyful.
Sometimes we are sad.
Sometimes we are angry in the face of injustice.
Sometimes we are moved by acts of bravery.

Each element of our StarDust possesses a balance that needs to be observed, understood, and regulated.

For if detours exist, labyrinths and dead-end roads exist as well. And learning to recognize them allows us to rediscover a balance that is sometimes lost.

    Beauty in sunny and rainy days
