Keep the dream alive

Keep the dream alive.

That's the point. Not giving up, not giving in. So many times our Tribe & game characters have been about as low as you can get. Somehow they found reasons. They found faith. They found something inside that refused to lay down & die.

As much as anything else, I think it was that quality--that optimistic view of the world even in the worst of situations--that drew me to both the television show & the game. A saying that I've been known to quote is: "Every day above ground is a good day."

I wish I knew how they did it. Is it just the optimism of youth? If the Tribe-scenario had been reversed, if all the children had died & the adults had lived, would it have been the same?

Doesn't really matter.

First things first: find a dream. Then hold on tight & pursue it relentlessly. That's how our game characters survive all the crazies & horrors we throw at them.

Maybe that's not bad advice for us players as well. -Chyna
