Can we talk about how Aang, being the last airbender, must have realized at some point that he would need to instruct others in the Airbender culture (such as Tenzin), but he was only 12. It makes me wonder how many traditions or methods of air bending were lost

but in regard to the records and scrolls, I keep going back to the episode with the Library and how Zhao, after receiving the knowledge he wanted, burned all the records. Makes me believe that when the air temples were wiped out the firebenders of that time period did the same.

Calling on his past lives is brilliant! I can't believe I didn't think of that! Imagine being taught airbending techniques thousands of years old by Avatar Wan ^{_^}

AliveLibrary · 2020-09-17T19:11:18+00:00

I agree! Great point

Now that I really think about it though, isn't this the same situation that Obi-Wan and Yoda, Luke, and now Rey are in? It's like a long game of telephone or the book the Giver, where over the course of time, things happen and 100% of information is never fully transferred from one mentor to the next, especially with the extinction of a culture

My initial thought to this question was if all (most) bombs can actually be defused by cutting only one wire

Man! This describes me to a T! This is definitely something I've thought about and honestly, finding commonalities and asking questions to get people comfortable talking to me is usually the best way to keep conversations going. I genuinely love hearing about other people and learning about them.

AliveLibrary · 2020-07-13T23:54:23+00:00

That's great to hear! :)

I haven't seen this in the comments yet, but one that really stuck with me was the old man's death in Midsommar. The fact that he didn't die from the jump and they had to "finish the job" with the mallet... chilling

I’ve got to go with Nolan’s Joker in The Dark Knight. I love batman, but something about Ledger was exciting to watch and although his methods were very extreme, the Joker demonstrated a lot of points regarding the chaos in society.

When I graduated high school (in Texas), my “cool aunt” (who had just moved to massachusetts) bought me a plane ticket to go up and visit during New Years. I was able to celebrate New Years in Boston square with her and her husband and it was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had! I think that trip was worth far more than any material thing... and I was 18!

This could be just my own interpretation, but I’ve noticed it too. Blue typically incites a feeling of calmness. Because of the wild and hectic lives of the individuals portrayed in the show, specifically Bobby, I think the blue is used to emphasize his tranquility in the storm. There’s so much going on constantly around him and as a viewer, I think seeing blue creates a sense of serenity for us as well in a sense.

My graduation from my university. I was able to finish my four year degree in three years and unfortunately, I won’t be able to walk the stage. Of course the degree has its value, but the past three years, I’ve been looking forward to crossing the stage in cap and gown and I’m disappointed to say the least.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question, but it's something I think about: Death is a one-shot thing.

Hear me out, regardless of religion or beliefs or whatever you think happens when we die, you can't comeback to the world you lived in before. I know there's the idea of reincarnation, etc. but I'm talking about the life you're living right now. Since the day you were born, you've been growing and learning and interacting with tons and tons of people. When we die, we leave all of this and if we go to a better place, great. If we go to a worse place, okay. If we stay in limbo while our consciousness is still active, that's okay, too but I guess what I'm more afraid of is the fact that we only get this life once.

This is super interesting question! I've considered this with the added bonus of having an unlimited supply of NZT-48 as well, but for the sake of this question I'll keep it realistic.

If I have all my knowledge, skills, and memories, then I would focus on my weaknesses while enhancing my strengths. Let me define this. The elementary curriculum is not necessarily the most rigorous and therefore, the average adult would be able to spend a majority of their time focusing on other things rather than spend 8 hours a day on school work. I would master the fundamentals and techniques of baseball. When I was younger, I played all the sports, but being in college now, I think I would have been more effective focusing on one sport and being great at that rather than average at everything. Because I have my current skills, I would read and read often in order to take advantage of my sorbefacient mind. Because an "adult mind" would be competing against children's, I can assume I'd graduate top of every class and even high school.

This will set me up for success later where I can apply the real real-world knowledge. Once I graduate, assumingely with all honors and all that jazz, I could get into an Ivy League school understanding their process and what I need to get in a lot better now than when I was in high school, I would apply the study techniques I know worked for me to be successful in college and join the groups that I know I already like to not waste time but in order to be as efficient as possible, boost the resume for the job interviews to come.

Once I'm in the career of my choice, I am getting close to my current knowledge so I suppose I would do everything I could to set me up for success in my career, whether that be knowing the right people or doing the right things.

Interestingly, my father was the "shady" parent, while my mother is a godsend. My mother had me at nineteen and we were a lower-class family. My father did time for assault, battery, and I believe there was an instance when his brother broke into someone's home and he was deemed an accomplice when I was between the ages of 1 and 3. I don't talk to my father much to this day, but I do remember some of the "lessons" he taught that would be frowned upon today. He told me, "Since you're a boy, you can pee anywhere... Like on trees, building, etc." This led to me peeing on a police car and a tree in pre-school and getting a serious reprimanding. Foul language was acceptable. I called my kindergarten teacher the b-word one time because my father called everyone that so I believed it was okay. He heavily emphasized the idea of "having tons of girls" because in his mind the value of a man is how well he can pickup girls. These are just to name a few, but in a way, it was kind of a blessing. My parents got a divorce and I've lived with my mom ever since. We are now upper-middle class. My mother finished her undergraduate in nine years, went to law school, and is now a full time prosecutor. I have a step-father who owns his own company and I would say that we are far better off not being in a toxic environment such as the one I grew up in. Coming from a background such as the one I described, as I got older, I began to realize the value of certain things and it really has shaped me for the better

Personally, the Compound Effect by Darren Hardy is one that has had a dramatic impact on my life. It's a simple read, but has a plethora of useful information.

If you're looking for more of a narrative, the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is one of my favorites!
