3 Life Lessons From The Wise Uncle Iroh
Please Sit. Why don’t you enjoy a cup of calming jasmine tea?
Throughout the history of entertainment, whether in movies or tv shows, we have been blessed with a handful of characters that elevated themselves to standards of what it means to be someone of wisdom.
We have Yoda riding on Luke’s backpack, teaching him the ways of the force in a way only a true master could.
Mr. Myiagi, forcing a young Daniel to do his household tasks, with no apparent reason, only for him to find these same chores were teaching him the martial arts skills he so desperately craved.
You could even make the argument for Gandalf, who when Frodo complained — “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” — referring to the terrible evil happening around them, the wise wizard replied with one of my favorite lines of all time:
“So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Despite all being the incredible characters deserving their spot on the podium of the wise, there is one, in my opinion, who elevated himself to a whole different league of his own.
