Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends

I grew up watching the Samurai X series and I am not ashamed to call myself a fan. Right now, I'm just so happy to have watched the live action movie of Rurouni Kenshin at this point in my life where I have a different understanding of things. 

When I was younger, what's remarkable for me was the philosophy on "Survival of the Fittest: The strong shall live, the weak shall die" (like this is what I seriously write as my favorite motto in slambooks). But as years went by, I eventually learned that it's not all about strength. The ones who are truly strong are those who have the will to live for the ones they love, whether they are physically able or not. The strongest ones are those people who choose to live and not merely survive.

I can' t find a better way to explain this wisdom more so I'll just borrow the words of Seijūrō Hiko: "The will to live is stronger than anything else."

Kenshin Himura, you truly are the heart of sword. Thank you for being a very big part of my childhood.

Salute the samurai.
