jaime_lion 56 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 So spoiler warning, But I am wondering do you think she is an enlightened ruler one like sun Tzu would talk about or lao Tzu would speak of? celestia knows when to act and when not to act case in point when tirek attacked she gave her power to twilight so it could be safe. as sun Tzu would say "a general fights on his own terms or he doesn't fight at all" In the friends forever comic of her and spike she says that yes she could of easily taken care of issue's for twilight but then twilight would not have learned anything. that is very Taoist in letting people learn on there own and not "controlling them" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna 831 466 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 No that is not sun tsu at all. It was probably just a test for twilight. ask-princess-luna/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kel_Grym 1,917 July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 I've actually had it pointed out to me by a friend that Celestia is more of an ideal Confucian ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celli 4,338 July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 I think she's just a really wise and intelligent pony that has years of experience in being a ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/ 651 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 (edited) I submit to you, that Celestia was the first pony, and unlike Cheerilee's lessons about cutie marks, she was born with hers. Celestia just popped into the middle of chaos and fixed it. She then made a castle and lived in it forever until Luna appeared. Then they lived in it together, and they're both 147 septilion99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 years old. And, she knows everything. So, maybe.

Jammo 986 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 Enlightened, but not perfect. She makes errors in judgement I feel but is overall a wise leader. She's an ideal, which is why I love her. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinter 3,064 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 1000 years gives you either deep wisdom and compassion for others... or makes you crazy for chocolate rain. Celestia is the former thankfully My OC's: Malinter, Rahl, Vengeful impact & alias-the-marked-one First fic i've written since forever here Skype: Malinter@Outlook.com "Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier." most legendary quote ever.
