I'm really hoping NDR will somehow write a balance to this because these two ideologies are not inherently bad until pushed to the extreme (like all ideologies, I suppose!) I would be pretty disappointed if they painted the Ninja in the good entirely, but I trust Doc Wyatt!
So I already seen some people talk about how Ras teachings about pushing against the universe and taking what you want is actually good as opposed to how the teachings of Lloyd/ the ninjas side where it’s more….. about going with the flow of the universe is bad.
And I GET where they’re coming from. I really do! I understand that these ideas are/could be read as “it’s better to just let everyone walk all over you and let destiny do its thing and you have no control over anything and you just gotta let stuff happen. No you cannot fight for what you want and go against “the flow of the universe” or whatever” but it really is a matter of how you read it because the way I see it:
Let’s look at it this way. You cannot force people to do things they want just because you want them to. You cannot force yourself to love someone just like you can’t force someone to love you as much as you want it. You cannot forcefully change someone’s identity or personality just because you don’t like how they are and you cannot forcefully change yourself to be someone you really aren’t just to appease others. You cannot force and entire population to bow down to you because you simply find it fun. You cannot force everyone to agree with you and unleash anger upon them when they don’t. You cannot change nor rewrite the past and you cannot puppeteer others peoples lives because it would be more beneficial to you. You cannot bring someone back from the dead and you cannot create the perfect person. This is why, Rass ideas, about, taking things by force, bending the universe to your will to get the stuff you want, is bad. It’s selfish. It’s harmful. Hell it can even be harmful to oneself.
I don’t think that the ninjas teachings/ideas supposed in any way signify that ni matter how unfair something is you just have to let it happen or some shit like that because we know that’s not true, considering how the ninja are constantly fighting villians who do unfair shit. I mean this is pretty obvious but still.
Not everything’s gonna go your way and not everything is in your control and that’s ok. Once one learns to accept change, or how life doesn’t always go as planned, that some things that you don’t like might occur, they’ll be able to live at peace. As much as you wish for something there’s also things you have to respect. From boundaries to nature. From someone you love not loving you the way you wish they did to having to move away to somewhere new, being able to adapt and grow is something essential in life and essential towards being at peace.
Again, I understand why people would interpret the two sides of these ideas in dragons rising in such a way where both are right and wrong. And tbh I also agree and like seeing it that way, in the way that there should be a balance between both. Especially with all the themes about balance in Ninjago, but I still wanted to drop my interpretation of these ideas here and why I can also see how ras teachings can be wrong while Lloyd/the ninjas right. But again? The world isn’t black and white.

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes
holy moly
mornings after
all that remained were fields of dreamless solitude
only you can show me this
Omg omg omg. It all makes so much more sense when you realise it's not social anxiety but a fear of being perceived.
Why do you feel more comfortable with a long coat and a mask as opposed to summer clothes?
Why do you DESPISE taking pictures? Especially if it's someone else and not you taking them.
Why do you feel like you have to stop doing whatever it was you were doing when someone passes by?
Why don't you want to tell anyone how leisurely you go about your day, taking a nap, going for a snack, sitting on your phone playing games etc. because you know they will comment on it and even though it's not negative or mockery it's still feels like you've been perceived?
Why can't you make eye contact? Why can you do it only if the other person is looking away but the second when they look at you you stop listening and when you're the one speaking you can't bear to look at them because you know their eyes are on you and they are perceiving you?
Why don't you want to dress excessively or wear nicer clothes? Because you will stand out
People mistake you for shy because you don't speak often, but it's really the fear of drawing attention to yourself more than it is the things you actually say, isn't it?
Why do you hate overpopulated areas even when no one is speaking? BUT you still feel more comfortable when more than one person is in the room (but not too many!) so that the burden of being perceived is directed on someone else and you can safely lay back just observing the scene.
It's all a defence mechanism
