I totally get you. I haven't yet figured out if I'm ultimately a real survivor. I mean, I like living but I'm not about the suffering for extended periods of time so, that could be a problem.
I too love the aspects of the idea & considering that BSG & Jericho rank at the very top of my television viewing favorites, clearly I never tire of it. But you're totally right, actually thinking of everything, EVERYTHING you know being gone & still moving forward. And for goodness sake, how long? I think that'd add an even more harrowing aspect to the already grim state.
And about the kitten, my husband was appalled when I admitted to him that if we had a dire survival situation, I'd seriously eat our cat (my love is now departed) if it came to it. He said that was too far for him because she was family. I told him I thought it'd be unfortunate to have to go one without him when he starved to death... but I'd do it. So either I'm more a survivor than I thought or a heartless bitch. Maybe ultimately it takes a bit of both. IDK. ;)
