Feelings of any kind are not known to the walking dead. Every form of psychological warfare, from attempts at enraging the undead to provoking pity have all met with disaster. Joy, sadness, confidence, anxiety, love, hatred, fear-all of these feelings and thousands more that make up the human "heart" are as useless to the living dead as the organ of the same name. Who knows if this is humanity's greatest weakness or strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever.
The "walking dead" are devoid of any emotions, rendering psychological tactics against them ineffective. No matter the nature of the emotional manipulation attempted—be it anger, pity, or fear—these undead beings respond with indifference. Feelings that define human existence, such as love, joy, or sadness, are completely irrelevant to them, similar to how they lack a functional heart.
This raises an intriguing question about humanity itself: is the absence of emotions in the undead a vulnerability that can be exploited, or does it represent a strength that humans possess? This ongoing debate suggests that understanding the implications of emotional capacity may play a crucial role in survival against such a relentless force.
