#Apathy

Apathy is the noble art of perceiving others’ suffering as someone else’s problem and directing one’s gaze to more convenient matters. It is hailed as the optimal solution for conserving emotional resources, even as the world erupts around you. You lack the energy to speak up, yet somehow retain enough to offer criticism—a paradoxical state. It resembles drawing the shutter down on one’s soul and viewing life as a two-dimensional screen. Ultimately, “I don’t care” becomes the ultimate self-defense mechanism.
