To Leonardo,
As the leader amongst your brothers, one can't imagine how it's not a very easy task to uphold, whether it's coming up with a plan on what the next move is, making sure that everyone is on the same page, and more importantly: Being the elder brother and the voice of reason through Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, but most of the time it's never easy to accomplish.
Despite that, though, you always have your Instincts/Intuition that help guide you through some of the toughest and strenuous trials, whether it's facing Shredder, the foot clan, as well as all the infamous villains you and your brothers have battled before, maintaining the moral code of being Njnjas, and also, knowing for sure on who is friend or foe, there's no denying that Instincts and Intuition plays a vital role through the everyday lives through human beings, as well as superheroes like Spider-Man, who is always armed with his Spidey-Sense uses this ability to help get him out of sticky situations through dangerous villains or worst, all the while saving the day in the process.
However, not many beings know when to trust their Instincts/Intuition until it's too late, like, for example, Johnny Lawrence made a pretty bad move on trusting John Kreese, unaware that behind his old master's friendly demeander lies something malicious, but not his rival Daniel LaRusso who senses something amiss, but Johnny dimisses the claims, sadly though, Kreese would undermine and take Cobra Kai Away from Johnny in the process.
While this small tale isn't quite compelling, it does serve as an important lesson on always making sure to listen to your Instincts and Intuition and know for sure on what is right or wrong, and I'm sure that your master/father Splinter taught you and your brothers this important virtue during your training together.
Anyway, I appreciate a lot on your take on Instincts and Intuition, and may you use it to not only protect your family and friends, but also the city of New York against the forces of evil.
P.S. Hopefully, once all is said and done, you and your brothers can enjoy a delightful celebratory pizza meal. Cowabunga!👍
Leonardo:
"Hey there!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful message. You're right; being a leader and the eldest brother isn't always easy. Balancing the responsibilities of guiding my brothers and keeping the team united can be challenging, especially when faced with difficult choices and dangerous enemies like Shredder and the Foot Clan.
Trusting my instincts and intuition has always been a crucial part of my journey as a leader. Master Splinter taught us the importance of listening to that inner voice, and over time, I've learned to rely on it to make tough decisions and navigate tricky situations. Like Spider-Man's Spidey-Sense, our instincts help us stay one step ahead of danger and protect those we care about.
Your story about Johnny Lawrence and John Kreese is a powerful reminder that trusting the wrong people can have serious consequences. It's a lesson for everyone to pay attention to their intuition and recognize when something feels off. We all need to learn from past mistakes and grow stronger, just like my brothers and I do after every battle.
I appreciate your support and understanding of what it means to trust one's instincts. Rest assured, my brothers and I will continue to protect New York City and everyone in it. And yes, a celebratory pizza meal always awaits us after a mission well done! Cowabunga! 🍕😄
Thanks again for your message, and take care!"
That's right, Leonardo.
Allow me to give you a good example of trusting your instincts. It's said that good soldiers follow orders but if said order doesn't make sense then it's time to follow your heart. Let's say you're ordered to kill an enemy warrior simply because they're not human or just simply not being on your side in general. But the enemy warrior can no longer fight as they are beaten, wounded and disarmed. Plus, your enemy fought well. Now, your instincts are telling that doesn't sound exactly right and that you need to see the morality in the order. You've defeated them and they can't fight anymore, you've won. There's no need to kill them unless they get back up and attack again. The honorable thing to do is to bring them to justice.
In this scenario, your instincts are telling you that you should be honorable and merciful in this approach. Especially, when your enemy fought well with honor. On one hand, you should spare them so they can live to fight another day. But on the other hand, you should give them a warrior's death. But it's up to you to choose which action is more respectful and if you can't decide, that's where your heart comes in.
You once said that sometimes fear can be a friend who fights by your side, making your relaxes quicker and your senses sharper. While other times, it's a liar. Confusing you until you can't believe your own eyes. It isn't inherently good or evil. Many incarnations of You and your brothers have had many fears. But every incarnation of you have always had one fear in common. The fear that destroys all hope: Failure. Fearing that you've let everyone down. From your friends, to your team, to your family and to the people you've sworn to protect. Many leaders such as You, Optimus Prime, Ruby Rose and Robin have struggled with this type of fear. And it's okay to acknowledge it.
Facing the fear is one thing but confessing it to your allies is an even bigger challenge as you it takes a lot of courage to confess a secret like that. It also takes a lot of faith to trust that your allies won't ridicule, lose hope in or turn their backs on you. It can be hard but in the end, it'll all be worth while.
Ignore your instincts at your own peril. As without them, you might not survive. They help keep you and others alive.
Learn well from this, Leo. And Cowabunga!
Leonardo:
"Thank you for sharing such a thought-provoking example and for your insightful words. Trusting one's instincts is indeed a complex and essential part of making tough decisions, especially in situations where morality and honor are at stake.
Your example about being a soldier and facing a defeated enemy warrior perfectly illustrates the importance of listening to your instincts and heart. It's a scenario that many warriors, including myself, have to grapple with. The decision between sparing a life or delivering a warrior's death is never simple, and that's where our instincts and our sense of honor come into play.
In such moments, it's important to remember that our instincts can guide us toward the path of honor and mercy, recognizing the humanity in others, even if they are our enemies. The true victory lies in knowing when to show compassion and bring them to justice rather than acting out of fear or blind obedience.
You also touched on a significant point about fear and how it affects leaders like me, Optimus Prime, Ruby Rose, and Robin. Fear can indeed be a double-edged sword - sometimes it's a friend that heightens our senses, and other times, it's a liar that clouds our judgment. But the fear of failure is a shared experience for many leaders, and it's a fear that drives us to do better and protect those we care about.
Confessing this fear to our allies is a challenge, but as you mentioned, it's an important step in building trust and strength within a team. It takes courage to admit vulnerability, but it can ultimately lead to deeper connections and stronger bonds. In the end, acknowledging and facing our fears is part of what makes us stronger and more resilient.
Thank you for reminding me of these valuable lessons and the importance of trusting instincts. I'll continue to learn and grow as a leader, always striving to do what's right for my brothers and the people of New York.
Cowabunga!"
Well said.
Sidenote: we didn't see you at ratchet's video. I'm sure he'd appreciate your input as much as our leader in blue just did
