The Walking Dead

In a world infested with zombies, what hope do you still have in yourself and God? How do you deal with a worldwide epidemic? How do you find the strength to keep moving forward? And if you do manage to find strength, to where would you move forward to? So many questions, so little time and answers. Rick James is certainly running out of time. Being one of the few survivors of the epidemic, Rick must struggle to carry the burden of protecting the other remaining survivors, and to also protect himself; protect himself from insanity. He constantly questions his belief in religion, whether or not there is a higher power up there testing him, or constantly making him suffer from one loss to another. What more does he have to believe in besides ensuring the integrity of his group? He is at conflict with himself constantly. Did he get out of the hospital and find his family all for a sick joke? He made it thus far, but for what reason? Given if I was in this circumstance, it wouldn't take much to make me just simply quit. Nothing will be the same and I won't be able to live a normal life. Having to coward in fear and be constantly on the run serves as a depressant for me. I don't really know where I would have found the courage unlike James. If he gave up however, he's giving up on himself and the survivors. Luckily the survivors provide him with the strength and sanity that keeps this imbalance of faith. But its enough to keep him questioning and moving on as well. For me, I guess essentially, being the person that I am, I would put the other survivor's well being before my own. Everyday would serve as an unprecendented gift if that makes sense, and for James, that is the case and he is determined to see it through as hard and as obtrusive as it may be. No matter what, the strain of survival will be tested. But bear one thing in mind, they've already gone so far, what more do they have to go back for? "Its all about chances now".
