Notes: Every similar to "A Few Regrets", only about Sokka and lessons.

For 21, Sokka had learned a lot, even though he felt that he hadn't learned any thing at all.

He had learned when to duck and when to run. He had learned that fighting was the last resort.

He had learned it was easier to fall in love than in was to kill, but it was easier to kill than stay in love.

He had learned that woman could fight as well as man and died just the same.

He had learned life only ended with your own death. And, even when someone you cared deeply about, for example a sister, died, the world did not stop spinning on its axis.

But most important of all, he'd learned that beer took away the pain.
