Mental Overload

Simba, our lovely little monkey-like creature, heard something extremely valuable.

Not only does the body have limits, but so does the mind!

If you exercise too much, it can lead to injuries. The same is true for mental health. The mind is like a reservoir that can fill with all kinds of emotions. Sometimes it can accumulate so much that it overflows, causing mental distress in many forms.

Simba had heard about a few techniques to lighten the load on one’s mind.

He practiced meditation as often as he could.

He also exercised his body, knowing that mental health is always connected to physical health.

He began keeping a diary, where he could record his daily train of thought. It was during this time that Simba first realized he enjoyed writing, and began to believe that maybe his words could reach others as well.

    For the Seven Shapes, it had become obvious. To rebuild Esperia on sound foundations, it was necessary to act on two fronts simultaneously.

    At what moment do we truly become adults? Is it simply a question of age? Of experience? Isn’t being an adult, in the end, the awareness of our own responsibility toward others, and in particular toward future generations? In their desire to rebuild Esperia on healthier foundations, the Seven Shapes had placed this notion of…

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, and the Great element of Earth were the perfect representation to remember how important the fundamentals were. Just as the ground lays the foundations for a solid structure, the element of earth was certainly, by nature, the element closest to these fundamentals. The world needed to return to the basics,…

    It is not necessarily so for others. And if this conclusion may seem trivial, we still have to have thought about it in order to perceive it. For when discussions become more heated and arguments begin to emerge, this awareness disappears beneath the veil of our Shadow, which then acts in our place when we…

    This was the conclusion that now seemed obvious to everyone, following the global disaster of the Chaos War. No understanding on a planetary scale would be possible without compromise. And the world before the war was far from being a world where making compromises came naturally. On the contrary, by exacerbating individualism, it had become…

    If there was one thing that all the Esper children on the planet shared, it was their natural ability to learn new things quickly and to retain the values they learned for the rest of their lives. Obviously, these values can evolve over time, but for a child whose values have not yet been established,…

    The time gained through the use of magic, new technologies, and agriculture had also helped shed some light on another mystery of Esper civilization: harmony between the two sexes. Although, for the survival of their species, the two had to build families and reproduce, communication and harmony between the two sexes were far from being…

    Esperia, which the Seven Shapes were trying to rebuild on healthier foundations, was now a world where the five elements, as well as balance and time, had become central pillars of the daily lives of the Espers. The time before the Chaos War was a period when technological advances and the use of magic had…
