TWD is more about human interaction and survival and what people have to do in order to survive than it is about zombies. It’s about the balance between individual responsibility and self reliance, and the risks associated with relying on others for your survival. It’s about not being able to eat if you can’t contribute.
“It’s about the risks of relying on others for your survival, about not being able to eat if you don’t contribute”. What you have described right here sounds downright “Calvinistic”.
Oh, isn’t that attitude one of the pillars of this country’s foundation? At least thats’ what they used to teach in schools, don’t know about now. Now, folks would focus on John Calvin “who was well known for Bullying the Protestants and Presbyterians in the 16th Century.”
