zombies. the walking dead. they may walk in daylight or darkness, but in either case, there is no soul underneath that animated corpse. and truth be told, they are not only found in fictional horror stories; they are real.
quite real. in fact, you walk by them every day. you talk to them, smile at them, eat with them. you know some of them quite intimately (if we assume that intimacy is possible with a soul-less body). furthermore, you may be one yourself.
for zombies, underneath all the wrappings and dramatizations, are simply humans who have lost their Souls. they may have lost them to work. they may have lost them in the pursuit of success. they may have lost them to broken dreams. whatever the reason, the truth is that "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." there are no passions, hopes, or dreams. there is simply tomorrow. and the day after. and the day after.
but life does not have to be that way. you do not have to be one of the living dead. choose to chase your Soul down, beyond the sun, across the stars, to the glorious end. veni, vidi, vici.
