As humans, we have a remarkable capacity to love and be intrigued by places and phenomena. However, we also have a profound tendency to be indifferent towards any number of things.
While it is love that binds us together, it is our indifference to certain events and situations that can lead us down dangerous paths.
Indifference in your personal life can lead to a lack of engagement with the real world. Maybe, you are neglecting to acknowledge your significant other enough. Maybe, you are not bothered about where you and your friends should go for the day.
These may seem like trivial things that you don’t need to worry too much about, how you approach them says a lot about you. Much like your words reveal more than you realise, so do your actions.
By being indifferent you are signalling to everyone else that you are not bothered. That you are not willing to put the effort in. That you are coasting through life.
On a larger scale, societal indifference is an even greater problem. The indifference of a society is what makes catastrophes and injustices against certain races or ethnics more likely.
Think of the Nazis, the atrocities committed by Communist Russia, this was all possible because people turned a blind eye to what was happening in the name…
