Living life as it is

“What truly matters?”

This question was raised by Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.
“Related to this question, what truly matters to you? may even be a better one,” she said.

Because we all see the world through our own eyes, and because we have the freedom to choose how we act and behave, how we use our time, and eventually what kind of living being we decide to be.

There is not one single answer, but as many as there are living beings on Esperia.

“But we may need to remember one thing: like any other living being, we are born, and sooner or later, we will pass away.”

“While the world surrounding you may provide countless distractions, reminding yourself of what truly matters to you is a good way to help you make the right choices for yourself.”

“Living life as it is is, however, a simple common ground for all living beings, for without nature, life would not even exist.”
