Rise and Fall

It had been a while since we last took a look at Guruko and Simba, her little platypus companion.

As they were studying human society on Earth, both were surprised and shocked by its development.

“How can these living beings sometimes be capable of creating such wonderful things, yet at other times be so cruel and damaging to their own planet…” wondered Guruko.

“Even if they may not realize it yet, balance naturally occurs on Earth as well. With life and death at its center, the way human beings act within it follows constant cycles of rise and fall,” said Simba.

“So, because there are living beings, is it natural that their way of living seems so paradoxical?” asked Guruko.

“In Esperia, the discovery of StarDust and Atma was the turning point that finally created a peaceful world. It may change for them too, if they become conscious of it,” he replied.

    Cha Cha was investigating, alongside Guruko, the evolution of mankind over thousands of years by reading various books about history from all over planet Earth.

And the theme today was: “You should always question your own beliefs.”A younger one asked, “But if that’s what we’ve been taught, shouldn’t our beliefs be right?” “When you learn,
