I hear so much about zombies lately that I had asked myself
more than once, what is it with the fascination with Zombies? Why do so many
seem so enamored with them? Zombies. They’re everywhere: Comics. Movies.
Books. The Internet. Video games. You name it and you’ll find it. Incredible.
There are even blogs about it. People on twitter say they love zombies. Why?
What for? What gives? Personally, I don’t get it and this caused me to write
this post. Do these people know something that others don’t? I’m curious. What
do you think?
The Bible does
say that the dead will one day walk again. Perhaps, it will be zombies. It
isn’t as if the Bible says, that the dead will actually rise up breathing and
be back to their selves again. Who knows what will really happen on that
dreadful day. A great number of people seem to think that the end will come
with zombies. When I did a search for zombie related material for this post, I
was inundated with information. Put
‘zombies’ into a search engine and see what comes up. I did and found quite a
bit to use for this post. In fact, you can find a rather interesting article
about zombies at: http://www.cracked.com/article_15643_5-scientific-reasons-zombie-apocalypse-could-actually-happen.html that is entitled, “5 Scientific Reasons
a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen.” It is both interesting and scary to
read. Interesting and scary because the speculation it presents can lend
credence that it can happen. After all, if zombies aren’t a real possibility
why are U.S. soldiers practicing in ‘secret’ by shooting ‘zombies’?
Hmmn…excellent question, huh? Huffington Post actually has a zombie column: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/zombies/ The Center for Disease Control has a
zombie preparedness page: http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm
Back to the original
point of this post, what is the fascination with zombies? Good question. I have
no idea. I have no interest in zombies at all. I don’t watch “Walking Dead”. I
admit. I started to. I watched the first three seasons, but then, I lost
interest. It was boring. After all, how many story lines can one write about
zombies? They all become basically the same. Though, I must confess that I do
watch Night of the Living Dead from time to time. “They’re coming to get you,
Barbara.” Anyone else remember that famous line? Do you remember what scene it
came from? What is your take on Zombies? Do you believe in them? Why? I’d love
to hear about it. Do you think Zombies are a good thing or a bad thing?
That's my take on it anyway. Zombies? Perhaps they may come around one day. Maybe not. If we've learned anything about life and this world is that anything is possible. Probable? Your guess is as good as mine. It'd be both interesting and scary to see, won't it?
Until next time, I wish you well. Have a great day, a great week and a great month. May all your dreams come true. Be Safe. Be happy. Show compassion. Be kind to one another, especially those without a voice. Don't share your personal information just because one asks for it.
