    Thank you for your video I enjoyed it the four virtues you brought up I think are very important and the avatar The last Airbender characters you gave these virtues to I think they fit them pretty well but if I were to give my two cents I would have given the virtue of wisdom to soccer and the virtue of Justice to katara and the virtue of temperance for aang and finally the virtue of courage to either zuko or toph or any other character that best represent the virtue thanks for the video looking forward to any new videos you have planned for the future

    Very interesting video and analysis. I have a question: how do you increase one of the 4 virtues? I often struggle with courage. I never want confrontation and often deal with being too afraid to bring things up. What would be your advice?

      Courage is definitely one of the hardest, which is why it's such an important Virtue. My best advice would be to start small by facing discomfort and struggles that seem easier to deal with. Instead of jumping straight into the lion's den, callous your mind by doing easier (though not trivial) actions that require courage. Cold showers work great to start with!
      Also remember that we are not so much harmed by events as we are by our perception of these events. Your anxiety is very likely making confrontation a lot scarier than it actually is

      @@RavensRants oh, anxiety definitely makes it seem much scarier than it is. I've never heard of taking a cold shower as a way to build up courage though! Excellent advice. I'll have to try it

      Cold showers mostly help you mentally deal with discomfort, which is the stepping stone up to dealing with conflict

      @@RavensRants that's definitely true. Also, there's always a moment when you're on the edge of doing something hard or not. How do you help push yourself over the edge? I always find myself talking myself out of it

      Make a rule with yourself. Countdown from 5 to 1 and just do it before your brain can think of an excuse. It's a psychological trick and there's a whole book on it called the 5 second rule. Worth a try...

    Nice video. Did you not add toph because you can't decide one in particular that fits her or because you wanted it to be one virtue each?

      A little of both actually! Toph exemplifies multiple virtues so it wouldn't work. But I do plan on making a Toph focused video soon!
