What is the ultimate meaning of life?

Many people have asked themselves such question, Anonymous. There are many answers.

I, however, believe the ultimate meaning of life is none other but the one you decide to give it.

Sometimes there are events that we are not able to control. Whether you believe there is a common destiny which unfolds as time passes or if happenings are not related, you must be aware that you will always have the choice to make your journey in this world as painful  or as pleasant as it is possible.

The ultimate meaning of life, Anonymous, is what you make with it. It is the everyday gestures that define wether your existence will be surrounded by love or hatred. It is your aspirations and hopes. It is your worries and doubts.

Nobody has a warranty for the future. Therefore it is much better to spend your time wisely. Choose to help those in need, take care of the environment, learn new abilities, enjoy the company of your family and friends. Fight for a righteous cause.

Regardless of who you are, where are you located, or how you may look like you have the power to lead a fulfilling, inspiring life. Regardless of what happens in the future, do not allow fear to restrain you.  Remember you have always a second opportunity, each passing moment.

So, Anonymous. What is the meaning of life for you?

miss me,miss you

hey there , since this would be my last letter to you for various sad and usually circumstances that will be come clear shortly I just wanted to say you are the best man and father to these boys Miwa April and sometimes Jones I have ever seen although I am still very weirded out about you getting drunk just to teach the boys a lesson about intuition also I am very fond of you I wont say the word because its an impossible word to say so my last question is if you had your own tv show what would it be I am forever your friend and geek May

Lessons tend to become boring after years. There is no shame on adding to them a trace of amusement.

These happenings you talk of seem grave. Do not worry. Sometimes matters do not become as expected, but better; sometimes difficult to understand manner. 

If i had a series of my own...i would prefer the story to develop in a fantastical rendition of Japan: with dragons and kingdoms loosely based on feudal japanese history.

Perhaps treasure hunting could be a part of the story.

*bows to you* Happy Valentine's Day, Master. :-) Anything new going on with you, your sons & daughter on Valentine's Day? :-) I'm just checking on you guys. :-)

Happy Valentine’s Day.

There has not been novelty regarding ourselves...aside the apparition of another mutant seeking vengeance from one of Saki’s henchmen.

As romantic as that may sound.

[splintersensei]

Allow me to say sensei that if i could have a wish for Valentine's Day it would be you -there, i said it *hides in the corner

…I feel flattered, Anonymous.

However, i believe you could, and should, wish for better valentines. I am not known for my romanticism.

[splintersensei]

Im going to be honest. You were so cute getting drunk.

...Such was not my intention, Anonymous.

It seems i have failed in my lecture.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY SPLINTER

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I hope you had a pleasant time with your beloved ones.

[splintersensei]

Happy Valentine's Day, Master Splinter! I hope today isn't too painful, without Teng Shin.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

There is no need to worry for me. I was never fond of this kind of celebrations.

[splintersensei]

Oh, Master Splinter, I'm worried about the final battle... I hope that everything will be alright and that you will win against Shredder.

Do not allow anguish to bother you.

What is destined to happen will occur. 

[splintersensei]

Did you and Shen ever watch Mary Poppins? I like to imagine you were a goofy enough couple to perform "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"! (Granted I also like to imagine you and your brother sang goofy karaoke back when you two got along, but I also find it difficult to imagine Saki going along with silliness willingly.) Also, to make up for bringing up bittersweet thoughts, would you like chin and ear scritches? (You don't have to wait for me to reply to your answer to get the scritches.)

I was never that foolish, Anonymous. However, i acknowledge i would have perhaps recited the lyrics without the melody...

Unlike Saki. Even in the past he was severe with himself and others. I do not remember him doing anything amusing...intentionally. 

Instant scritches seem to have a future in the internet. I would appreciate them better if i knew who would be giving them to me.

[splintersensei]

I hope you have a wonderful day, Master Splinter! :)

I had a pleasant day, indeed.

Tranquil.

Well you tanked deadly poison before so I would think just booze would be fine for you.

I have?

Hmm...i do not remember so, Anonymous.

[splintersensei]

I don't know what was in that gourd of yours but whatever it was to get you drunk that fast it must been strong enough to knock out an Irishman. I am Irish so I'm allowed to say that

It is indeed a strong beverage, Anonymous. Or so i will tell you before somebody could consider i may have a low tolerance for alcohol.
