Destiny, he believes, is determined not by the Spirits, and that everything is just a coincidence. Events are not already mapped out; there are no connections between one situation from the next. It's just a bunch of random, jumbled emotions and points of view and perceptions. That's all life really is.
So he is naturally fascinated when Katara brings up a strange topic. What would have happened, she muses, if we hadn't found Aang?
Well, Katara would still have a devastating temper, probably, nothing like her now mellow self.
And you would still be a sexist bigot, Katara adds indignantly.
And a huge slob, Toph chimes.
Resisting from slapping himself in the forehead (it's already red enough), he says wittily, Don't be ridiculous! It doesn't matter, because nothing is connected.
Yet still, he chuckles secretly to himself, for he's so wrong. It's funny how such a seemingly insignificant thing such as a pair of smelly socks can determine the fate of the world.
