Deepness.

How shallow am I if a small problem empties my puddle? When I grow up I want to be an ocean.  If I am an ocean even an earthquake is but a drop of a pin.

Expectation.

Children become adults when they are full of expectations.

How solipsistic.

Some movies were made for me. Other people can watch them but they can't see what I see. This is what I think art is about.

Devil.

The Devil (Greek: διάβολος or diábolos) from διά (dia, “across”) and βάλλω (ballo, “I throw”), usually translated as "traduce" or "slander." True meaning of diábolos is more like switch places, replacing truth with lies.

Apocalypse

Apocalypse (a disclosure) seems to be imminent. I do not think, however, someone will come and reveal the truth to us all. Rather, we will suffer the truth.

Neutral Jing.

King Bumi: Listen to me, Aang. There are options in fighting, called jing. It's a choice of how you direct your energy...

Aang: I know! There's positive jing when you're attacking, and negative jing when you're retreating...

King Bumi: ...and neutral jing when you do nothing! Neutral jing is the key to Earthbending. It involves listening and waiting for the right moment to strike.



I do not know about Earthbending, but it's definitely the key to spoon-bending.
