We imagine there won't be any easy decisions to make when you live in the zombie apocalypse, but some choices will be especially difficult. In Merle's case, it was cut off his own hand and live to see another day, or be eaten by a pack of pissed off zombies. He chose wisely, and that's a lesson you should always carry with you. You never know when you'll be hit with a horrible but mandatory choice to make, and when you are, just remember to make the right choice, no matter how painful it is.
