Yeah, I've always said (and still maintain) that I'd rather die in the first wave/initial blast or whatever, rather than try to survive through the aftermath. What kind of existence is on the other side of something like that? Personally, not one I'm interested in.
Ideally I would like some prep time and survive the initial part just so I can be smug about it for a little while.
I've heard and read the same sentiment before:
The living will envy the dead
I'm with you on that, I'll put in some effort to stay alive and help those around me ... but in the event of complete social breakdown, I'm not going to work too hard to stick around for that.
It won't be because I gave up ... it'll be because I just won't want to deal with all the bullshit that everyone will create just to save themselves.
It's interesting how different people are. I wouldn't even blink in that scenario. Go into survival mode and start surviving. It's not as hard as you think, once you have some training. It's actually probably quite a bit easier than working 40-60 hours per week, and trying to hold a life together in your limited free time. Sure, you won't get Sunday champagne brunch anymore, but you won't have to deal with a dimwit middle manager for 60% of your waking hours anymore either.
Survival is a winners game. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Remember, if you ever want to take yourself out of a zombie apocalypse you have to shoot your brain out or you'll just become a future problem for the living
