THE DEAD AND THE ZOMBIE


There are many ideas about the same thing brewing up in the air that dominates the society if that thing cannot come alive and cry that you're defaming it or them or their whole society.


The concept of the magical world is very different in the fantasy books written all over the centuries because a werewolf or a vampire won't conspire against you with a witch if you talk bad about them.

*insert a sarcastic smirk* Although I would love to talk about the depth of the message I'm trying to convey here but let's leave the broad section and take a subway to the zombie kingdom.


THE DEAD AND THE ZOMBIE is today's topic and although many famous books picture zombies as brainless stupid people who eat human brains, there's something special about them too. You heard right. Zombies are special too.


Apart from being a usual simile in the modern era, zombies are a symbol of significant mental state as well. When someone says “I feel like a zombie”, what do they actually mean? They certainly don't have an appetite for brains, do they?


Although my approach is different, you need to understand that this is a very serious topic. People call themselves zombies and refer themselves as ‘aimless, lost person who got no will to do anything’. They know what's right, they know what they have to do. They just don't feel like doing it.


I went through this phase too and maybe I'm still there staring at the end of the tunnel hesitating to let go of the sloth blanket my ‘zombies’ got me. I can bet that you were there too or you will be there if you are lucky enough to not have found this zombie subway... yet.


We aren't dead. We are zombies. We are not people who are stationary and don't wanna grow or do big things. Nope, we aren't that. They are dead people. Neither are we unable to breathe which I dare say is the literal definition of the dead. We are *drum rolls, trumpets and the whistles* ZOMBIES! We know what we have to do. We know what's right. We have the action plan. We have got all the ammunition ready. So why are we still procrastinating?


Because we don't have the motivation. We lack the spark. And that, my dear readers, is the toughest to find when you lose it and toughest to lose when you find it.


So who are you? Are you dead with no life goal or are you a zombie with no motivation? I have been there at both the places and personally, being a zombie is worse than anything.


*IN TV COMMERCIAL VOICE*

“DO YOU FEEL LOST? DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN FIND A NEW GALAXY ONCE YOU GET THE SPARK? DO YOU FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE? THEN LOOK NO MORE, NO FURTHER MR. ALIEN! THE NEXT POST MIGHT JUST BE FOR YOU.”
