On The Run

Pg.95 "Too often, people who have been holed up in fortified dwellings are seduced by the distractions of their initial freedom. Most of these people never make it to safety. Do not become one of these unnecessary statistics. Your mission is to escape nothing more, nothing less. Do not look for abandoned valuables. Do not hunt the occasional zombie. Do not investigate any strange noises or lights in the distance. Just get out. Every side trip, every pause in the journey, increases the odds of being found and
devoured. If by some chance you come across humans that need assistance, by all means stop to help. (Sometimes logic must give way to humanity.) Otherwise, keep going!"

In this passage, the author is describing  how one can never be safe in a world run by zombies. He shows how small things such as a safe home are no longer luxuries that humanity can afford. He alsoi gives his two cents on how to stay safe by constantly being on the move. He also warns of making hunting into a game. His reasoning is that any risk one takes that's unnecessary could very well be that person's last mistake.
This passage explores the question of what it means to be human. I think Max Brooks does an excellent job with this. As a human, we all someplace we can call home. This place needs to be safe and somewhere where one could escape to when overwhelmed. Max Brooks is urging the audience to disregard our instincts and desires to be safe and cope with the burden of always being on the run. He also urges us to never forget that we're human and that we should always help our fellow man if we are to stumble upon a poor soul who is in trouble.
