(This is copied and pasted from a post I made earlier that applies here)

So I've been watching the Walking Dead since the begging and I have thoroughly enjoyed it as it has gone on. In a more recent episode that aired a few weeks ago, I heard a quote that I think will stick with me far into my last living years. Here is a video so you can see the delivery, and here is the actual quote in writing (I changed it ever so slightly so it makes sense when you apply it to real life):

When I was a kid, I asked my grandpa once if he ever killed any Germans in the war.

He wouldn't answer.

He said that was grown up stuff. So I asked if the germans ever tried to kill him... but he got real quiet.

He said he was dead the minute he stepped onto enemy territory.

Every day he woke up and told himself, "Rest in peace, no get up and go to war."

Then after a few years of pretending he was dead, he got out alive. That's the trick of it I think. We do what we need to do, and then we get to live.

No matter what comes our way, I know we'll be okay. Because this is how we survive.

We tell ourselves that we are the walking dead."

Every time I have faced a problem since hearing that I always go back to that quote. It makes you realize how insignificant your problems may be in the full spectrum. Rick says that we are the walking dead. And that includes all of us in reality as well. We will all die, and once we die, we will experience nothingness and forget we had ever lived. We are all just molecules out here. So since we will one day forget the lives we are currently living, it will be as though we never lived it, so it is kind of like we are dead right now. That's what he means when he says we are the walking dead. We are, for all intents and purposes, dead right now. So we can make it through any hardship. No matter what problems we may face, we can find comfort in knowing that nothing can hurt a dead man.
