Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. Iroh stops him, and says, “You must never give in to despair. In the beginning of Season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender, when Zuko and Iroh are out in the wilderness trying to survive, Zuko is finding it hard to try and look at the bright side of what happened with him and his family, thinking that there is no hope. “In The Darkest Times, Hope Is Something You Give Yourself.” (Season 2, Episode 5)
Sometimes, we think that things are destined to happen for us, but Uncle Iroh is right - if we keep our minds and hearts open to new decisions and possibilities, who truly knows what our destinies might be? But for anyone else watching, it’s a good line about having faith. But if you keep an open mind and an open heart, I promise you will find your own destiny someday.” This word of advice means even more to Zuko at the time, considering he had just stepped away from his family and finally figured out himself what his true purpose was - to aid the Avatar against his father. You never know how things are going to work out. In full, he says: “Destiny is a funny thing.
However, we do get this flashback of him and Zuko when the prince was first banished, and he offers this piece of wisdom to the young boy when he says his destiny is to capture the Avatar. Season 3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender is my personal favorite, but unfortunately, Iroh and his words of wisdom were not featured as much this time around - namely because of Zuko. “Destiny Is A Funny Thing.” (Season 3, Episode 11)
