The knowledge of the world cannot be instantly acquired

The society before the Chaos War had the unfortunate tendency to highlight those who had succeeded, those great names who had left their mark on history.

Lune Lune, who had started studying again and was eager to learn once more, had become interested in this question.

How did these people reach where they are today?

Many biographies and stories told how it was their excellence, their determination, or their genius that had carried them forward.

And very few spoke about the underlying reality behind their success: the luck they had in gaining access to education, or even having relatives who were in influential positions.

Because the Espers did not possess innate knowledge of everything.

Even the most powerful magic did not allow the Espers to instantly receive all the wisdom of the world.

And this was indeed an important cause of so many conflicts on Esperia.

Every newborn was a blank page. How this page would be written did not depend on them, but truly on those who surrounded them.

A responsibility that was being lost, yet remained irreplaceable…

Because the knowledge of the world cannot be instantly acquired…

And a lack of education, although it can be recovered from, requires efforts and a willpower that are often far too heavy to carry.

The education of the youngest is truly everyone’s responsibility.

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had spent a long time thinking about which pillars were essential for creating a society in which harmony between peoples from different backgrounds would be possible, while also trying to preserve the ecosystem in which they lived.

    The Importance of Nuance

    The values of Esper civilization, decided following the end of the Chaos War, had been chosen not without difficulty, after sometimes long and tedious, yet essential, discussions about points and subjects that had never truly been addressed before. The revelation of the StarDust, as well as the existence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, had…

    What Will the World Look Like for Future Generations

    If the answer to this question can only be a matter of supposition, one thing is certain: it is the choices made today that will shape the future for generations to come. The Seven Shapes understood well that the Espers, and their Shadow even more so, were creatures naturally inclined to think of themselves first.…

  • A Movement on Two Fronts

    A Movement on Two Fronts

    For the Seven Shapes, it had become obvious. To rebuild Esperia on sound foundations, it was necessary to act on two fronts simultaneously. The first was the systemic level: institutions needed to find the courage to impose laws consistent with shared values embraced by all the lands of the planet. The second was the development…

    Being an Adult

    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…

    Remembering the Fundamentals

    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,…

    What Seems Obvious to Us…

    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…

    Global Understanding Impossible Without Compromise

    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…
