Guruko and her platypus companion were once again looking, through their magical mirror, at what was happening on a mysterious planet from another universe than their own.
This planet was covered with water, which gave it its blue color when seen from space.
And today, its inhabitants had decided that it was Earth Day, the name they had given to their planet.
Why such a day?
Because since its inhabitants, called humans, had managed to use the fossil resources of their planet, they had at the same time begun to impact the global climate of the Earth.
The use of these resources had brought them an abundance and wealth at a level never known before, allowing their population to grow to levels never seen before, and their economy to expand, now based on an ever-increasing use of machines powered by energy.
But if the picture seemed perfect at first glance, looking at it from a more thoughtful and global perspective had been showing for years that this was not the case at all. Besides the increasingly significant inequalities that this wealth had created for humanity, humanity is not the only one to exist on this planet, and biodiversity, forests, and oceans have been heavily impacted.
The planet will survive, of course.
Humanity too, probably; humans develop extraordinary resilience when they are backed into a corner.
The questions may be more tragic:
Who will survive, in what numbers, and under what conditions?

Bended truth
Not long ago, we talked about the importance of deepening one’s knowledge of the information that flows through modern society. Because by being aware that what is displayed as truth is not always the case, and is often bent by those in power, it becomes possible to detach ourselves from the ways they try to

Fair and just
Every Esper of Esperia acknowledged one thing about Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy: there was something special about her. It was somewhat difficult to explain, but her behavior always smelled of pureness, and this led her to become the living image of fairness and justice as well. Why? Because being able to feel compassion for

Observe things deeply
Guruko and Simba, her platypus companion, were discussing how the flow of information had evolved on Earth. It had been a while since they had taken an interest in this blue planet, and the development of its inhabitants, who called themselves human beings, was fascinating to them. Just a few decades ago, information was very

Beware of luxury
To strive for peace among all the Espers, Esperia was rebuilt in such a way that every Esper had to take responsibility and take action, based on their own unique abilities. Thus, basic fundamental needs such as food and shelter were made a priority and delivered to everyone, while the Shape of Balance, Atma, remained

Once-in-a-lifetime
“Every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” Shala, the Shape of Time, would often remind the young Espers. From an objective point of view, as the Espers were living beings, the time they were able to spend was limited; thus, every single event is one that will never happen again. Even if circumstances may seem similar—for

A common crisis
Guruko and Simba, her platypus companion, continued to observe and learn from human society on Earth. It reminded them greatly of how Esperia was before the end of the Chaos War. Indeed, before the events that led to the discovery of the StarDust—which became the key to revealing the inner Shadow within each Esper—there was

Going through hardships
Esperia didn’t become the world we know it as—one of peace and harmony—in a day, nor easily. Every Esper had to go through hardships, but the end of the Chaos War finally became a much-needed rallying point, uniting and combining the desire for true peace for everyone. “Every Esper, at their own level, would have

Beautiful Scenery
Kenko, the Great Element of Earth, often worked together with Vati, the Great Element of Water, and Gurumin, the Great Element of Wind. The three of them were often charged with thinking ahead so that nature could be preserved and its importance maintained in Esperia. Their own elements made them naturally connected to the beautiful
