Espionage

I believe everyone can perform espionage, maybe for a day, week or month but not on a day in day out basis as a career? However I also believe the duplicity e.g. being a new person for each target, the fear - vetting each new person in your life as they could be a potential enemy, etc. could potentially drive a person insane!

However when you watch the likes of Spooks and 007, they make the whole thing seem easy, exciting, enjoyable, thrilling, and so on and so forth.

I know the James Bond franchise and Spooks are fantasy however a little part of me reckons that there is some element of truth in it and they must have gathered some information from the real espionages as a story board to build the stories upon.
