One Daily Tale

Meaningful

There were many debates taking place in the Great Library of Esperia, a place where all the Espers of the Five Elements could gather, discuss with one another, and exchange ideas and opinions.

Having different backgrounds made the discussions rather interesting, but the rules were set by the Seven Shapes so that there would be no risk of escalation.

In one of those debates, the question of what is truly meaningful was raised.
For the Espers of Fire, many thought that finding one’s purpose during the course of life was what gave it meaning.

The Espers of Earth believed that health lay at the core of everything, and that taking care of themselves was essential.

The Espers of Lightning emphasized that awareness was an essential tool in the search for meaning.

The Espers of Wind understood that building a community was the path toward global peace.

The Espers of Water realized that differences of opinion could merge into a consensus when one reflected deeply on the question.

“As time is counted for living beings, balance is certainly a key,” concluded Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

    “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.

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime.

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples
