Natural Balance

Living things have a natural way of staying balanced and stable.
When it’s hot outside, your body regulates itself by sweating so it doesn’t overheat. When your body needs energy, you feel hungry. When you need water, you feel thirsty.

There is a natural balance that keeps you healthy. If you eat too much, you may get sick. If you don’t eat enough, you will grow weak.

However, the signals we receive from the outside world are far from balanced. We are bombarded with stimuli through almost all our senses. Most often, this comes through our eyes, with long hours of screen exposure and flashy ads. But there is also noise pollution, like the constant flow of traffic. On top of that, we are surrounded by invisible waves, such as those from Wi-Fi, which our brains absorb passively.

All of these put a strain on our natural process of balance.

    Where ignorance is bliss…

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that

    The Chaos War

    It took quite a long time before the Shape of Balance, Atma, and the meaning behind the word “Balance” finally became one of the accepted and evident keys to harmony in Esperia.

    Past, Present and Future

    Shala, the Shape of Time, created a lesson about the Past, Present, and Future. “For ordinary living beings who haven’t developed their StarDust yet, it is very difficult to grasp the Scales of Time. Because, in fact, it’s a paradox: it’s not natural to be able to perceive them.” “We all know we live in

    Nature as a Common Goal

    Until the 7 Shapes worked together to create the foundations of One Daily Tale, Esperia wasn’t the harmonious land we had described!

    Simba was a mysterious, monkey-like creature living in Esperia. Though not an Esper, through experience and trial and error, he had succeeded in developing his own version of the StarDust. But something was still missing. He often experienced a roller coaster of emotions—sometimes feeling very sad when imagining a world without the 7 Shapes, and
