Jeong Jeong was correct harshly but honestly telling Aang the truth. He was but a fish that Jeong mentioned in that metaphor Aang was not yet ready to truly listen. Aang had yet to truly understand the weight of destiny and lacked the discipline and focus needed to even begin learning. Also Jeong Jeong wasnt able to fully grasp the capabilities of fire itself. Seeing it only as an element of destruction and his own critical view on fire transferred over to his harshness to Aang like he was bitter.
Jeong Jeong and the Sun Warrior chief were both right. Fire DOES breathe, grow, spread and destroy everything in its path but it is also life. New growth cannot exist without first the destruction of the old; fire must first decimate before it can rejuvenate.
Yes, but fire needs restraint and self control or it will grow and destroy everything around it. It brings light and warmth and can help renew the Earth, but without proper restraint it brings only death and destruction.
I love this. Discipline is the acceptance that we cannot go against the river, we must go with the river and do in order what the river prescribes. To deviate is to dash one's self against the stones.
You have no idea the happiness I felt when I red a fanfic in which he was killed by Tanya from "Youjo Senki". Wretched man ! Teaching Firebenders to fear themselves ! Teaching others to look at Firebending itself as a curse ! And before anyone defends him, it's possible to teach control without saying what you need to control is a disease that was better to be purged. Even before the episode with the dragons I felt that was wrong.
To be fair... Jeong-Jeong was a product of the firebending culture of that time; he was taught in the "new method" (which replaced the teaching of the Sun Warriors with a form of firebending that tapped into rage and hatred) - since that's all he knew, he no doubt thought that this method of hatred was the truth of all firebending (no doubt helped by the fact that all dragons except Ran and Shaw were killed) and, thus, hated it in turn. It also helps that he probably has some sort of traumatic experience that had him defect from the Fire Nation. Jeong-Jeong is an interesting character; he's what Iroh could've been, had the latter not found his enlightenment. I think it's a shame that Jeong-Jeong never got to meet the Sun Warriors. Would've been cool for Jeong-Jeong learn the original nature of firebending.

I just noticed that even when he's angry the fire doesn't grow. I haven't seen a single fire bender that happens with.
Proper restraint, and I'll bet Zuko mastered that. Same goes for Iroh.
one of my favorite scenes.

And Fire doesn’t just destroy. It cooks your food, keeps you warm, and helps you see in the dark.

You are too WEAK

One of my favorite scenes from ATLA

He was in the middle of a war and a genocide caused from his people, how would he not feel like that.
