Prey

"Fear is for prey"

I stared in shocked astonishment at the screen. That sums it all up. When it comes to fear you are either the predator or the prey. Not prey in the sense of being lower on the food chain. Something much more significant lurks under this expression. Prey in the sense that your fear controls you. If you let fear - any fear - control your life or determine your path then you are prey. Plain and simple. I love black and white stuff like this. Doesn't come up much in our dull gray politically correct society these days. It doesn't matter if your fear is commitment to a girlfriend, swimming in open water, or walking into a room full of people you've never met. If it controls you and determines your way, you are prey. Once you realize this you suddenly are empowered. You have a choice. If you spin the tables on your fear and confront it, you become the predator. If however you acknowledge it and do nothing, you are prey. Plain and simple.

Who would have thought that such perspective altering wisdom could be found in "Ice Age 2: The Meltdown".
