Was it benders who made those rules and gave themselves those privileges? Either way, that's just awful. I'm sorry things are so imbalanced in your world because of something like that.
...I can see how you'd think that it'd be better if people were without it. But isn't it a part of being who they are- to those who can bend? They don't have a choice in being able to wield that power, do they? The choice is always in how that power is used, but if that power is being used for the benefit of others...
[She shakes her head.]
But I can say things like that because I don't know how things are, where you are from. I have to ask though- what would you do with all who can bend? If it's something that just happens, it doesn't seem fair to be against them, just as much as it's not fair for those with such power to lord it over those who don't. And they're still people. If you put weapons in the hands of those who can't bend, wouldn't it just provoke those who can to be even worse?
