[b]Apathy is the solution for the majority of people's problems.
If you want to know why people do the things they do.. Is because of this.
Nobody wants to do things that takes efforts, People prefer an easy shortcut in life than taking the long challenging route to achieve their goals.
But all it takes is one person to make a difference.
One person to care.[/b]

If you could do a task at half the required time and have it have exactly the same impact, you'd be a fool to step down. Although the way you're portraying apathy is far from perfect. Apathy is the compelete lack of feelings, emotion and concern. The feeling of nothing. It may linked to dementia and schizophrenia. It might even be a mental illness in its own seeing as people that only feel apathy are more commonly known as "sociopaths". Apathy is not a simple feeling like anger or happiness. Its rare and complex like anxiety and depression. Being lazy or selfish is not apathy but people feeling apathy are usually lazy and selfish. Ignoring what others say to have your voice heard is not apathy. A compelete lack of feelings for others. An increadibly low EQ. Apathy is on the level of letting thousands starve just so you yourself can profit, not just simply finding shortcuts. //a psychiatrist in training.
