hmmm... how could the young bender explain this in a way that would make sense ? it’s something steeped so deep within his core that he’s never thought about the why behind it. ❝ i think that’s what makes airbending different. our bending is so tightly intwined with our culture and beliefs. ❞ the fact that every air nomad was a bender certainly helped strengthen that connection between bending and beliefs.
❝ we’re pacifists so our bending is defensive and evasive. air nomads never seek out a fight and avoid striking opponents directly. ❞ until recently, aang couldn’t remember ever striking someone directly. ❝ the monks never even taught us many offensive moves. we never had a need for them. ❞ that’s all changed now though, hasn’t it ?
