"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). Dragon's 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." (Originally posted by wataksampingan; original platform unknown)
