This is a thought I love to really sit and day dream about when I am bored... what if you woke up- and everyone else is gone. Everything is still where it was the day before, just without people. think of all the stores and places you can go without anyone stopping you from, say- turning Wal-Mart into a personal shooting range, or going to the local car dealership and cruising around in a $150,000.00 sports car. I would probably find my way to the brownells distribution center and start building some wicked rifles. What would you do? How would you entertain yourself in a world with only you?

Great question. The hardest part of this for me personally is why? What I mean by that is nothing you do will have any lasting effect, once your dead then nothing you have done will matter. As a follower of Christ I have a hard time living for myself. Plus I would miss the wife and kids etc. All that aside I would probably build some wickid offroad machines, motorcycles, airplanes and shoot a lot. Oh yeah. And write down a lot of info so if anyone happens to follow and I'm not actually the only one left my life experience will pass on.
The 5 stages of grief is my bet. Most people will lose their minds pretty quickly when left completely alone with no possibility of contacting anyone and won't make it to acceptance. My bet is suicidal ideation would be the last stop on a downward spiraling train to looney town and ultimate self destruction for the large majority. Some very small percentage have no difficulty adapting and might successfully accept their current universe. Those that go in immediately for hedonistic practices are actually just sticking themselves in the first stage of grief, denial. They'll eventually emerge to wholly more horrible stages one after the next until and if they make it to acceptance.
