zombies, man

Do you ever wonder why we as a culture are so obsessed with zombies?  Maybe it's due to the lack of knowledge about what happens when we die.  You have people who believe in heaven and hell, and you have people who think that once you're dead, you're straight up dead.  No more life, ever, at all.  But could it also be a fascination with wanting to live forever?  Figuring that if you die, you can come back, or have your loved ones come back.  I really hate zombie apocalypse scenarios.  I hate them so much.  They make me panic and once I start thinking too much about them, I start crying.  I don't like crying.
