Apathy

[jevridon]

What is the result of apathy?

I was searching through the internet, attempting to find a visual description of apathy that represented my idea of disinterest. Initially I thought of a pictorial description of blank space, a void, or something that more-or-less described "nothingness".

I thought back on the lack of interest that a lack of interest sparks emotionally.

Apathy requires a polar opposite pull to mean anything in order to evoke strong emotion. A better visual description of apathy, then, is one that evokes a highly energetic (and energy, here, can mean anything - positive or negative) response.

What I found is a photograph taken during this "wartime" in Iraq. I think it evokes, perfectly, the resulting consequence of apathy which underlies our current governmental administration.

Please be aware that the following image is extremely graphic and my be emotionally and/or physically offensive.

This is what I found: http://poetry.rotten.com/failed-mission/ (http://poetry.rotten.com/failed-mission)

I was called a ****** the other day. Being called a ****** is nothing less than apathy. Being called a ****** is the same type of apathetic reaction that sparks the beginning of the death of the man in the photograph from our current war.

Dude, you're SO off base is not even close to humorous.

"the resulting consequence of apathy which underlies our current governmental administration?"

NOT being apathetic to terrorism, not being apathetic to the suppresion of basic human freedoms is what this war is all about.

In addition, being called a ****** is merely an expression of someone's feelings about your sexual orientation. If I call you a ******, it means I think you like to sleep with dudes. It has nothing to do with apathy and to hear you equate the tragic loss of life in the middle east with someone calling you a ****** is borderline offensive. Get a clue.

Fueled by Beer is correct, actually. Neither the war, for or against, or apersions of your sexuality have anything to do with apathy.
