This is my entry to 
Weekend zombie apocalypse
If there was a zombie apocalypse today and the world went to shit would you rather be turned into a zombie early or fight to remain a human? Explain your answer and respond in at least 300 words.
Zombie for a Good Cause
The world, at least ours, has already gone to shit. I used to joke with my wife and friends about the possibility of joining the tyranny so that, given my bad luck, it can finally fall. I am sure that as soon as I “jump over the fence” (as they say here when you change your political affiliation) looking for greener pastures and the sense of happiness and prosperity power and corruption seems to grant, the whole system will collapse and I will fall with them. After that, everyone will renounce the tyranny, just like Peter renounced Jesus, but I, and all my descendants will be stigmatized as collaborators of the most destructive regime in the Americas.
That seems like a sacrifice worth making, if I did not have a brain.
It is tiresome to spend year after year trying to change a government that has done nothing good in twenty years and still gets plenty of support, not only here but abroad. We know that most of the international support is based on economic interest, but the support of the masses is the result of a slow but effective process of zombification.
It hurts to have a brain. It hurts to think, usually overthink, things looking for logical explanations. It hurts to anticipate events based on analysis of historical circumstances. It hurts to be right and see things fall apart while the masses are caught off guard, panic, or even celebrate.
Thus, just for a change, I’d like to experience what it feels like not to have a brain, to be a walking dead (although in our socio-political reality it would be more like a crawling dead). I’d like to know what it feels like to be immune to hunger, diseases, stabbings, shots, suffering, injustice, corruption, impunity, and redtape. I’d like to know what it feels like to feed from others’ pain, to live at the expense of others’ deaths.
It must be surreal not to feel anything and still roam the ruins of the world without awareness of your own undoing. Zombies are hard to kill. They rule the world. They get sequels and get reinvented all the time. Like vampires, they are (at least their notion) immortal. Unlike vampires, they do not have to be concerned about looking immaculate and they do not get tormented by the endless reflections about immortality and human inability to learn from their mistakes.
Being a zombie must be liberating. So, yes, I’d rather be turned into one for a change.
