We have violence in books and movies because most of us will never kill, never find ourselves waking up one day with no memory of our past but discovering we are super-assassins trained at a CIA black-ops facility...
No, most of us experience this only vicariously, returning on Monday to our mundane jobs, filled with the vague dread that our hours and days are slipping away into mediocrity, never realizing that we of the day to day plodding are the real heros. The action stars may save civilization, but we are civilization, building it day by day, hour by hour, breath by breath
