I Dont Know Why It Took Me So Long To Think Of This



I don’t know why it took me so long to think of this…

Just playing with Legos...

Playing in the garden… Nya’s adventure, part one of two.

I Roll A Random Encounter…

After several failed attempts to find the series 15 mystery minifigures in various stores, I finally hit the jackpot at Toys ‘R Us. I found an A.F.O.L. (Adult Fan Of Lego) searching through what was apparently the only box in the store, and struck up a conversation. When he heard I was shopping for a specific minifig for my sister’s birthday, he asked which I was looking for, rifled around in his pile a bit, and handed it to me. Seeing as I’d been trying to get my hands on this lego for weeks, well, his generosity meant a lot to me. I would hope that I’d do the same thing in his position, but I can’t honestly say I’m sure I would.

I’m sharing this story with you because of what I took away from this chance encounter: Pay it forward. Think of the world as it is. Then think how the world would be if people were a little bit kinder, a little bit more conscious that we’re all people, that we all struggle.

And yes, these emotions (Strange and alien as they are) were caused by a stranger’s simple kindness and a lego. Play well, my friends.

Consider:

Zane: “I am programmed to obey the law.”

As Nya so eloquently said in the Ninjago Mini-Movie, Secrets of the Blacksmith: “May I remind you that this is private property and trespassing is against Ninjago law paragraph 13 section 2?”

I remember them specifically discussing breaking and entering Ronin’s shop at one point in season 5. And Zane went along with it.


Does this mean he can… I don’t know, suppress his programming? It’s more likely a tiny tiny tiny plot hole, but it got me wondering…

Anyway, thought it might be of interest.
