In Case of a Zombie Apocalypse!

“Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things.” (Zombieland) This quote means life. It drives life. It keeps nice and fresh; and it keeps it in a working condition. For what is humanity if the little things weren’t there? We, as humans, take those little things for granted, until we realize (after we have lost it) how important a little thing can be. What is a better way to make one realize such a thing than a zombie apocalypse?

In the movie, Zombieland, the main character lists of rules that ensure key to survival of a zombie infested future. Columbus, is his name, keeps himself limber, ready, safe, and completely not insane in these rules for such a future. What if such a scenario occurred, would we all be screwed and dead (or should I say undead)? Well yes, we would be- unless we used “Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things.” It would keep us from going insane. And in such a future, insanity is not an option. But why does this quote keep us on the sane side? Well, because our emotions stretch as far as a rainbow, with a little pot of gold on the side.

Happiness can be gotten from seeing a zombie run with sprained leg. A pretty sight, I might add. That big blob of rotting undead, running and stumbling, and running some more, and then tripping, and then getting up, only to stumble and fall once more.  Such a person might also gain happiness from decimating the town. Or the fact that the candy bars are now free. As if the bucket list is now in effect.

 If one does get angry, he or she may use the element of destruction to relieve such great stress. In such a case, violence is necessary. Bash the windows, stomp the grass, topple the trash cans, kill some zombies; chaos- at its finest. What a great way to relieve hate. A hater will have hours and hours destruction. Cities needed to be burned, villages needed to be plundered.

But what about sadness, depression, etc., there is a great solution to that too. Get mad! In which case, hate would be applied and that poor gal or sap will be sad no more. As if a commercial is made to fight the sadness. If a misfortune strikes the survivor, the zombies can be blamed for it all. And all at once, peace is restored!

And of course, this can be applied to real life! Happiness- watch YouTube, Comedy Central, Family Guy- they all have that. Release hate through violence using video games. And lose depression by getting friends. So I will remember, for emergencies and in case of a zombie outbreak, to enjoy the little things. Because we won’t appreciate something until it is gone.
