Indifference

Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it.

Every so often I have come across a person who practices the Art of Indifference… and believe me, it is an Art.  I wonder to myself if this is something that they have learned along Life’s way, from a parent or has it been there within the very core of their beings right from the start? Out of all the emotions, I think Indifference is the most calculating of them all. Only when you are on the receiving end of Indifference do you feel the impact of its power. We can overcome anger, we can change attitudes with love but as long as Indifference stands in our way, nothing will change. The person who holds Indifference close to their heart in the end, has no heart - Eileen Beniest
