The concept of the ninja and the history of the ninja is very fascinating.
Here is an interesting article highlighting some of the information including history and philosophy.

The history of the ninja is said to go back to 600-900 AD (or CE of the secularists.)
Often time it was the farmers that would handle these roles but it is interesting that woman also served in these combat roles in a time of traditional conservative patriarchal values.
What I find interesting is that the historical account of ninjas is different from the concept of the ninja that we have developed in our minds through media entertainment. We envision the ninja always wearing the dark garb outfit, but this is not necessarily the case as sometimes in order to blend in effectively they would wear their every day clothes.

So in this intelligent conversation about ninjas, I would like to ask a few questions that would hopefully spark intelligent discussion while at the same time lighted hearted humor and banter.

- What are your favorite movies that center on the concept of Ninjas? What about some games and/or books? IS THERE ANY SUPERHERO movie that focuses on the concept of the ninja?
- I am a big of the movie "The Hunted" staring the Highlander. There is an awesome scene on a Japanese bullet train where the ninjas attack.

- What do you consider to be the main points of the ninja philosophy?
- Are there any that you try to or would like to incorporate into your lifestyle or every day life?
- Perhaps you might take a path less traveled such as an alleyway rather than your normal route. Perhaps you would incorporate jumping over structure and balancing yourself on raised concrete?
Ninjas are quite fascinating and there is some good media focusing on them. Their philosophy is also interesting and perhaps we can establish more enjoyment in life by incorporating some of their philosophy into our every day routines. Thoughts?
