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.

    The meeting between Cha Cha, our platypus friend, and Guruko, a young Esper from the Valley of the Wind, was the spark that revealed the compassion buried within him. Guruko was pure and innocent, which gave her a charming beauty. This contrasted with Cha Cha, who had little by little lost sight of that light,

    In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential. What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength. What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help. Some new technologies had made dialogue between different

    The representative color of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was a deep blue reminiscent of the oceans. The ebb and flow of its waves, its highs and lows, formed an image now associated with balance. Far from being a straight line, there are good and bad sides to everything: a situation, a new technology, life

    If there was one thing the Espers were not made for, it was to feel the impermanence of time. Whether it concerned the past or the future, everything that is not the present or close to it quickly becomes abstract, taking shape through stories. These stories are then shaped by their experience, lived or learned,

    For Esperia, this was the discovery of the StarDust, revealed to all at the end of the Chaos War, which had been the trigger for the Espers to finally act in concert. Indeed, for years, despite technological progress and even learning to use magic, which had made many tedious tasks child’s play, the inertia of

    The Espers were not the only creatures on their planet endowed with consciousness; animals or even plants had evolved to develop it as well. Vingel was a creature that resembled a small dog. After the loss of his mother, he had fallen into despair, and had not realized that he had gradually lost the ability

    If some saw the rigor of a daily training of the mind as a limitation to their freedom, Kenko, the Shape of Health, often reminded them that good health was not only physical, but also in the mind. Thus, to rebuild Esperia on healthier foundations, it was also necessary to rethink the foundations of a

    Simba was a little monkey who lived on the margins of the society of Esperia. Although he was not an Esper, he too had developed a consciousness and had learned the five languages of the different elements. Seeing the world from a different perspective, he often wondered why a broader vision had still not yet
