Action movies

I never liked watching action movies or should I say I thought I would never like watching movies with a lot of men and a lot of blood and a lot of sweat and dirt. Until this year...

The cool action moves...the muscular hunks might have contributed to it. But those are minuscule in comparison to my feelings. I feel touched when I watched action movies. Like this one:

The protaganists in these movies are always standing up for something that they believe in...something worth fighting for. It could be one person or a group of people and they never sought out to make a difference but just to save or protect what they believe in. I am moved by their courage and passion. Because it is what I would like to be.

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against any injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

- Robert F. Kennedy

We need to stand for something greater than ourselves.
