Apathy is Bliss

Meredith: Apathy kills, Hank.
Hank: I don’t care
…but what Meredith didn’t even fathom to comprehend was the fact that apathy could be an extremely complex mood or feeling or lack of feeling or call-it-whatever-turns-you-on. Apathy is a word often whispered with a negative connotation. Ironically this negativity mostly comes from the overly-positive people; you know, the ones that jump around you at 7 in the morning, wondering why you are so grumpy, and in so doing blocking your way to the oh-so-needed cup of black gold. About an year ago I even found some people that claimed that the opposite of love is apathy – an idea that may have some weight, albeit that being the weight of an anorexic Armani model a couple of minutes before she has her weekly meal. In reality there are many forms of apathy, almost as many as the reasons for it. Some are not even the real thing as it often happens in this world.
