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.

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that

    It took quite a long time before the Shape of Balance, Atma, and the meaning behind the word “Balance” finally became one of the accepted and evident keys to harmony in Esperia. In principle, it’s simple! In a world with limited resources, there is a clear need for restraint among the living beings who share,

    Shala, the Shape of Time, created a lesson about the Past, Present, and Future. “For ordinary living beings who haven’t developed their StarDust yet, it is very difficult to grasp the Scales of Time. Because, in fact, it’s a paradox: it’s not natural to be able to perceive them.” “We all know we live in

    Until the 7 Shapes worked together to create the foundations of One Daily Tale, Esperia wasn’t the harmonious land we had described! It took much effort and time for the Espers to finally realize that preserving the land they lived in was the obvious common goal to pursue. Even though the Espers could create magic

    Simba was a mysterious, monkey-like creature living in Esperia. Though not an Esper, through experience and trial and error, he had succeeded in developing his own version of the StarDust. But something was still missing. He often experienced a roller coaster of emotions—sometimes feeling very sad when imagining a world without the 7 Shapes, and

    The magical world of Esperia was filled with Aether, saturating the atmosphere and creating rainbow reflections that could be admired just by looking at the sky. While we humans need to breathe air rich in oxygen, the Espers needed to breathe air filled with Aether. Not only did it connect them to the nature of
