I am in an extremely loving and grateful mood right now, because I have realized (again and again) how lucky I am to have three specific people as my close friends. life lately would have been unbearable without them (and mother and Noelle, but that's a given). and because I have such wonderful people in my life, I shouldn't be bothered by those who haven't been there for me as much... but there are a few (smallest definition of "few") that no matter what happens, I do care. and it makes me really angry sometimes...
“By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy - indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction.”
“So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect.”
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
“Indifference may not wreck a man's life at any one turn, but it will destroy him with a kind of dry-rot in the long run.”
am I dumb or just too human?
