I grew up watching great action movies like Star Wars, Die Hard and
Indiana Jones. Adventure stories have stood the test of time, why is
that? Because they are us.

We identify with these stories because life is adventurous.

Or misadventurous (I just made a new word).

Fight
a good fight. Overcome adversity. Get the girl. The difficult part is
that these adventures are ongoing. Good and evil, work and play, love
and loss. All of these make great adventures and stories because they
are us. It is who we are.
