The phrase makes sense. If you are inside that zone. It's every man for himself. Inside a disaster zone. A hurricane, a typhoon, a storm surge, a shootout, an earthquake or perhaps a war zone. Inside a crashing airplane, falling buildings and bridges. A storm, flood bringing about soil erosion or an avalanche. Cracked roads, growing gaps in between islands. Tornado. Fire. Zombies, vampires and serial killers and psychopaths crawling on the streets. Aliens and gigantic monsters. Chemical warfare, pestilence, radioactive and oil spills. Sandstorms and snowstorms. Hail and hard rain. Inside every Armageddon movie, or in a Stephen King film, becoming real. Global catastrophe, calamities, cataclysmic events becoming a day to day occurrence. Asteroid paranoia. Atom bombs. World War, and the end of the world.
It is every man for himself. And to care for somebody else could just be your biggest luxury.
