In Mine And Many Other East Asian Cultures, The Dragon Traditionally Symbolises Things Like Power, Wealth

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

A two part scene from the Mean Girls movie. Cady, a red headed girl, sits behind Aaron, a brunet boy, in a high school classroom. The top image is captioned with "On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was". The bottom image is the same scene but instead of the correct line "It's October 3rd", the caption reads "It's Rosh Hashanah".

Everyone queue up this meme I made for next week

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say
