A decade ago, I saw a kids’ movie in the theater with my two (at the time) girls, and a line from that film has stuck with me ever since. Don’t laugh — the movie was The Croods. Yup, the one about the cavemen. Er, cave-family, I suppose. The premise of the whole movie was that the dad wanted everyone to stay in the cave, so they could stay “safe.” At one point, the rebellious teen daughter who wanted to go out in the world flat-out refused to go back into a cave and exclaimed, “That wasn't LIVING! That was just … Not dying!"
