Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: The end ISN’T nigh

3) There’s always someone we need to carry on for.

Part of the reason we can’t afford to give up in a zombie apocalypse is because, we may not be the only one we’re fighting for, the only one our lives depend on. Most of us have people we care about, and people who care about us, and, if we give up because we’re in a zombie apocalypse…what happens to them?

If you’re seeing the apocalypse taking shape, and don’t feel like your life is particularly worthwhile, ask yourself this: What about your friends? What about your family? What about your loved ones? What if you give up, and…they don’t? What kind of a life are you leaving them with? A decidedly bleaker one, that’s for damn sure.

We need to keep fighting against the apocalypse not only for our own survival, but also, for the survival of anyone and everyone we give a damn about. We need to hold it together to hold them together, and make sure that they survive.

It doesn’t have to be the friends or loved ones you started out with, it could just as easily be friends or loved ones you’ve met after the apocalypse hit, either way, you need to carry on for them, to make sure that they have something to rally around, something to help them fight on.

Even if the people you knew didn’t make it, you have to carry on, so that their losses, maybe even their sacrifices, won’t be in vain, because, if you carry on, so too, in some small way, do they.

There is always someone you need to carry on for.
