The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: It’s human nature
By Liam O'Leary
1) There’s bad people out there, guys
“Well, duh.” You might think.
This should be obvious to everyone, yet, the more you look at it, there seems to be a lot of people who, for some reason, don’t even consider the possibility that people might be greedy, duplicitous, underhanded, or violent.
…How, I do not know.
Regardless, let me say this nice and big, so everyone in the back can see it: There are BAD PEOPLE in the world. There ALWAYS have been, and there ALWAYS WILL BE!
I can’t believe I even have to say it, but…there it is.
Anyway, yes, this is a thing, and, it means that you’re not simply going to be threatened by natural disasters, disease, famine, dehydration, exposure, animals, and, of course, zombies in the apocalypse, but also, people. People can become a threat for all manner of reasons, but, the fact remains, a threat they shall be, and, if you simply believe that the dead are going to be your only problem, you’ll find out the hard way that’s not true when the first hostile walks up and attacks you. It may not even take that long, either.
The best way to deal with this is to be alert, be armed, and most importantly, be ready, because, the bad guys will be out there, looking for prey, and you never know when (Or how many) hostiles may come down upon you at any one time, and, you don’t want to be caught with your pants down.
