DAY 13 - FAVORITE PAST AVATAR
Yangchen also imparted to Aang the purpose behind why the Avatar is born human: the Avatar must be compassionate to all people, and the only way of doing so is living among them. If, instead, the Avatar were an all-powerful spirit living at the top of a mountain, he wouldn’t have anything in common with ordinary people. She acknowledges that the Avatar must experience human life and emotions, such as sadness, anger, joy and happiness. The Avatar must learn how precious human life is so he will see why he must do anything to protect it, and that with every incarnation, the Avatar Spirit comes closer to fully comprehending what it truly means to be human.” (source)
