Truth
Growing up, we were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history, and somehow, the war was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world.
We were to help show them our methods, our ideas, our ways of life. We were going to help build the other nations up to the point of greatness, to share what we had with everyone else. We were supposed to be helping the other nations.
What an amazing lie that was! The people of the world are terrified of the Fire Nation! They don't see our greatness...they hate us!
The irony of it all is astounding, but what is even more astounding is that it’s taken this long for anyone to see it-we’ve been in the war for over a hundred years and yet so many people still think the same things they thought a century ago.
And we deserve it. We've created an era of fear in the world, and if we don't want the world to destroy itself, we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness.
After a century of lies, it’s time for the truth.
