Many Exceptional People

Ancient myths tell of an era when a king, surrounded by exceptional people, succeeded in bringing peace to his kingdom.

“What made them so different from the others?” asked a young Esper, eager to learn more about the story that intrigued him.

Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, began to smile and replied: “That is an excellent question! But unfortunately, as is often the case when stories describe talented people, only the results are shown. Their journey, and the way they managed to overcome their trials, are often set aside…”

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, continued: “Yes, that is why, if there are people you admire, you should try to learn more about their personal path.”

Eklea went on: “We chose this theme today to make you reflect on this. On Esperia, we now know that developing our StarDust is the key to a world in harmony, between the living beings who inhabit it and nature.”

“In this way, by following this personal path to develop it, we are all exceptional people!” concluded Vati.

    Is this reality truly understood? When we look at how the governments of the richest countries behave, it doesn’t seem so. A consensus on climate change should be obvious. “Because others don’t act, why should we? We’ll just lose the economic war.” Well, since we — unfortunately? — share the same boat, and it’s the

    The StarDust, like all things, is governed by rules. With Vati’s guidance, the Seven Shapes soon came to understand this. And one of these rules concerned Willpower, and how its use was like drawing from a shared pool. Whenever an Esper used their will to take on tasks that were frustrating or required deep focus,

    This was one of the mottos of Kenko, the Shape of Health. “A bit of exercise every day is far more effective in the long run than one full day of training, followed by months of nothing.” Now that the StarDust is known by all the Espers, it makes complete sense. Shala always reminds the

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, became a symbol of what must be protected, and of why working together was the only way forward. Her innocence was admired

    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
