Thinking About Something...
On Apathy...
Apathy is a very wonderful thing. It is a wonderful coping mechanism. If you don't care about anything, then there's no need to cope because no loss, so no trauma. It is also a good defense mechanism. If you don't care, no one can get at you to hurt you.
And as any of my friends will know, I'm quite good at not caring. In the past, I was extremely apathetic, but I think that now I've only adapted the good things of it. Now, I don't sweat small stuff and live in the now a good bit. Worry is not a big part of my life.
But apathy does, as everything, have a down side. It pushes people away a good bit. And it limits your ability to experience things as a human.
Back to pushing people away, I can't speak for all of those who use apathy (because some people won't admit this), but for me, it's not to my core. I do care. And if any of my friends would think that I wouldn't, well, that'd hurt...
Not that I'd let it show...
Later.
