What will happen to the world when I am gone?
I know that it sounds like a pretty self-centered question, but I am willing to bet that most of you have asked this question too. Is my contribution to the world going to be missed when I die? Is there anything that I do that is essential to keep the world running?

What would you do if Negan captured you and asked you to join his team?
Let that question sink in for a moment. Knowing what you know about this man, would you defy him directly like Daryl? Would you give in and serve him like Dwight? Would you pretend to serve him and wait for an opportunity to rebel or escape? (We know that this is what Carol would do.) Would you try to convince Eugene to make poison pills to slip into Negan’s soup?
Or would you do what Eugene is doing. (What is Eugene doing?)
Rebel, lie, or conform to save your life? This is the question millions
