Without Discrimination

Can we truly speak of equality of opportunity at birth when the place and conditions in which one is born vary greatly from one region of the planet to another?

This was the reflection upon which Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had been focusing.

The end of the War of Chaos had revealed that the five elements were part of a whole.

“Should we not finally begin to think of the world from this macroscopic perspective, no longer on the scale of one’s own element, but on the scale of the planet…” she wondered.

Until then, it had been difficult to imagine a global point of view, for at first, it was only very recently that an understanding of the world as a whole had been established.

“Rather than thinking about how to develop the economy of one’s own element, we should instead ask how to develop the economy for all the Espers of the planet.”

“To do so, we must manage to establish a society where the basic principles would be to treat everyone equally and without discrimination, and to love and care for all in the same way.”

Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, observed Vati in her deep reflections.
“This will not be simple… So you envision a world where everyone would be aware of this universality.”

Vati looked at Eklea tenderly, smiled at her, and replied:

“But we now also know of the existence of the StarDust, which we all carry within us. Is that not the hope we so deeply needed?”

Eklea smiled back and nodded.

    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

    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.

    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.

    “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

    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

    Trying to build a world where peace would prevail was not an easy mission at all. There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus. Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take
