I just realized something, it's all the Avatars Fault. All the suffering in the ATLA world is a result of the Avatar refusing to do his/her duty to protect the world. The 100 year war could've been Averted if Roku had killed Sozin instead of sparing his life. If Aang had stayed behind instead of running away, the Avatar State could have turned the tide and prevented the Air Nomad Genocide, Aang also, instead of deporting the FN colonists and fulfilling his duty to the balance of the Four Nations, hecreated republic city. While it may have been a good Idea at the Time, it eventually led to the massive social inequality and Divide between benders and non benders, a lack of respect for the spirit world, and industry slowly but surely poisoning the globe.

So for all the good it's done the Avatar has done a lot more harm than good in its recent incarnations. Let's hope Korra doesn't make the same mistakes.
