Indifference
I was asked recently,
“how much does Extreme Kindness truly change the worlds problems?”
The problems being: War, Poverty, Racism, Disease, Hunger, Murder, Corporate Greed and Political Corruption.
My answer,
“I do not know”
My goal for Extreme Kindness is not to directly bring about World Peace or solve any other of those massive and frightening global issues.
I’m no genius and I am not a great man.
But, rarely have I been indifferent.
Extreme Kindness wakes me up. It gets peoples attention. It can take away a persons indifference.
Indifference to suffering. A lack of connection to the world around us. This is all I wish to solve. Then maybe someone might teach me how to help make a real difference.
Edmund Burke
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.
Elie Wiesel
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.
George Bernard Shaw
Indifference is the essence of inhumanity.
Helen Keller
Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all — the apathy of human beings.
Joan Vinge
Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don’t stand a chance against it.
