In the Clutches of Apathy

The world is trapped in a state of apathy and if not addressed may lead the way to end of the human race. Too many turn a blind eye to those who are dying of cancer and other diseases until it hits them and their family. Too many will not even acknowledge that many in this world live in abject poverty without shelter, proper food and drink, medical assistance, and are naked.

Some business practices are used that do not care what and how it will affect their customers and others as long as they personally profit. Businesses should be run in an honest and ethical way that benefit those who they serve.

Doing or saying nothing in the face of something you know is wrong is what apathy is all about. When people do not care the things that need to be fixed are just shoved out of sight as if they will cure themselves. The trouble with apathy is when that thing you shoved out of sight finds you others are still ignoring the problem. If you do not seek to find a cure and just ignore the consequences it can become a problem that can not be cured.

We of the human race can do great and wonderful thing when we recognize the problem and work together to find a solution. Solve problems by seeking out what is good and honest with compassion and humility. Enjoy all this world has to offer and seek ways for every man, woman and child are able to enjoy it as well. Even if all you have is a kind word and a smile it will make a difference. Singularly none of us can accomplish this but as a community of the world we can bring great and mighty changes to the condition of the human race.
