Why I love spy movies

I went to see Mission Impossible III last night, and as I was on the edge of my seat, watching Tom Cruise and his cute little honeys do dangerous stunts, the thought occurred to me. I love action movies. But why? My favorite parts are always when they are doing something dangerous. And not only that, but I love to watch the hero or heroine. I am enamored with everything they do, down to the way they dress and do their hair, and ofcourse speak every language perfectly; although, I must say, that Tom Cruise's Italian accent sucked. Not believable, sorry. Anyways, I figured out that I love them because I am such a fear-driven person. I am afraid of just about everything. When I was a kid, it was dracula. Then, when I was sixteen, it was driving--all those driver's ed films made me petrified. Needless to say, I let my brother drive me everywhere until he left home and I was forced to get a license at 18. Yes, you heard right, 18. I discovered that I have fear in my life in many ways, and that we all do. Emotional fear is also huge in my life. Does everyone love me? What if I do something to make someone not love me? Spies don't care about that either. They are completely alone and self-sufficient. Strong and assured. Calm, cool, and collected. Everything we all want to be. So, sitting in the theatre, this was a nice revelation for me. Not that I want to swing from any tall buildings or jump from any helicopters; I am still content to let Tom do that. But, I am motivated to conquer fear of all kinds in my life. After all, a wise Book says that Perfect love hath no fear. I am still not sure what that means, but I think I get a little closer every day, and that is all any of us can ever ask for.
