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.
