Own your mistakes

Mistakes are part of development: nobody is perfect, right?
Trial and error is the first way we begin to learn. But as adults, we often develop the tendency to no longer own our mistakes.
Sometimes, to the point of denying the truth.

When scientific discoveries challenged the teachings of certain religions, those religions often refused to admit they were wrong. Why? Because their foundations rested on trust—and that trust would have been tarnished if they acknowledged flaws in what was said to be “God’s words.”

Atrocities committed by many countries throughout history—war crimes, genocides… While these go far beyond mere mistakes, the same principle applies. Owning such a dark past becomes almost unbearable.

And tragically, this continues today. Through wars, yes, but also through modern slavery and the denial of climate change.

So when are we going to own our mistakes?

    Among all the living beings of Esperia, Vati was especially drawn to the magical creatures known as Espers. They came in many shapes, colors, and abilities, and soon became not only the most powerful but also the most responsible beings in the land.

     Of all the Shapes of Esperia, Atma, the Shape of Balance, was certainly the one most attuned to the music of nature: the wind playing through the gentle leaves of a splendid oak tree, the soft breeze rippling across a calm sea, the birds singing at sunrise in a green valley—and even the raw roar

The StarDust allowed the Espers to trust one another, placing fear under the guidance of their awareness and wisdom, and enabling them to

    One Daily Tale was a special book. It was written with magic, and the 7 Shapes themselves spent their time reflecting on how to write and present the important—yet simple—points of the concept, which was linked to harmony with nature and peace for the living creatures of Esperia. This was when Faya stood up a

    In a world without the 7 Shapes, humankind had to develop without knowledge, without awareness. This marked the beginning of a world based on the survival of the fittest, where physical strength became the natural way to survive—without knowing how to communicate, unable to trust one another, and instinctively fearing others. Without an understanding of
