The Train to Busan becomes your own life. In it are different individuals who try to live their own lives. Inside your train/life you will encounter people who are struggling to exist and need help; you meet people who are selfish and would even put your own life at stake for their personal interests; you will experience the love of family members as well if you just open yourself to them...You will also encounter friends who die for you...
There are instances that work would overwhelm us to the point that we forget why we are working. We work for our families. Yet, there are instances when we forget them. Our children sometimes suffer from this emptiness that they talk to themselves since we are absent. Then, we fill in our gaps with gifts only to realize that these are hollow stuff. Most of the time, we forget that we already gifted them with such, creating a chasm so difficult to fill in.
But what caused these zombies around? Are they the persons who got intoxicated with the worldly things that they give their lives to them even at the expense of others? Why do they kill the normal ones and infect them to become living-dead? How could you prevent from being one of them? You have these queries since you could see a lot of them running around competing with each other for new cars and piling up money even if they are causing death, psychological torments in the young and the darkening of their hearts. Are you going to be selfish and unfeeling too? Will you allow to be bitten or put up a good fight to be different...
Still, there is love. This is the most powerful weapon you have. If you are a father, you could sacrifice your own well-being for your child. You take the hurdles along the way so that the young one could have her future. You could take toxic bites for the sake of love. If you are a husband, you sacrifice your comfort for the benefit of your wife and the child she carries on her womb, If you are a lover, you take the toxin with the one you love... That is the key to loving: SACRIFICE.
In real life, we are all surrounded by zombies. They are the people surrounding us who are trying to kill our efforts to love. There are those who will bite and pressure you to be like them posing as true friends. We might as well be zombies with hearts poisoned with envy, insecurity and materialism. These cause the death of one's spirit allowing you to walk or run around with the sole mission to be the fittest, the best.
Here's hoping that our trains lead us to Busan, er, to our envisioned destination.
