I'm surely not the only one that's starting to get stuffed when it comes to the "oh, life is so hard, and everyone discriminates against our group because we ___________" stories. Nothing against the folks here, or those behind the keys writing them, but it seems that every page in SD, every article on the news, and even what rolls by my RSS tickers is of two veins - "war on other side of the world takes a pointless turn as one nation pees on another's flag, yet again" or what's mentioned above. Am i merely desensitized, or am i actually on to something?
'Course you're onto something. Just stop caring about people you don't know personally. Works for me.
Dont care about more than just that, unless it is truly important dont let it get to you. Its hard to give a **** when everyone is complaining about trivial problems that dont affect them or that affect just them. Good link too. My apathetic attitude was renewed from reading it.
I'm not sure a lack of caring really needs to equal apathy. I'm fairly unemotional these days, but I'm certainly not apathetic. In fact I'd say I'm more highly motivated at this point in my life than I've ever been.
