Wishing for peace

Guruko and her platypus companion, Cha Cha, were thinking about how Esperia finally became a planet where peace prevailed.

“There were wars for thousands of years. How come it never happened before?” asked Guruko.

“The end of the Chaos War was the beginning of it all. When the Five Great Elements clashed all at once with their most powerful magic, it revealed to us the existence of the StarDust,” replied Cha Cha.

“While it was there, inside us, from the beginning, we just didn’t know about it. Or about how developing it could help us understand ourselves better! Because it enables us to see our inner Shadow, which, just like the StarDust, is inside every Esper.”

“To be truthful, it was just a matter of luck and timing that the StarDust was revealed during this war. But now that the Espers of all Five Elements understand the need to work together, wishing for peace wasn’t just a dream anymore.”

“Everyone secretly wished for peace individually, but not being able to trust and understand each other was the first obstacle. Not only between different Elements, but within the same ones as well… With the StarDust in play, it created the foundation for a world where harmony was at the core, with nature and within the Five Elements, by emphasizing the importance of developing one’s StarDust…”

    Empathy

    What truly defines us as humans? What sets us apart from other species? Not our physical strength, nor our intelligence.

    Language

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,

    Habits

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits.

    The “Modern World”

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources

  • Responsibility

    Responsibility

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and

The list is endless! When you think about it,
