A university professor set an examination question in which he asked what is the difference between ignorance and apathy. The professor had to give an A+ to a student who answered: I dont know and I dont care.
The continual intrusion into our minds of the hammering noises of arguments and propaganda can lead to two kinds of reactions.

I dont know. But Ive watched them here for twenty years and Ive seen the change. They used to rush through here and it was wonderful to watch it was the hurry of men who knew where they were going and were eager to get there. Now theyre hurrying because they are afraid. Its not a purpose that drives them its fear. Theyre not going anywhere theyre escaping. And I dont think they know what it is that they want to escape. They dont look at one another. They jerk when brushed against. They smile too much but its an ugly kind of smiling: its not joy its pleading. I dont know what it is thats happening to the world.
The opposite of love is not hate its indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness its indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy its indifference. And the opposite of life is not death its indifference.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.

Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand.
I dont know why. You dont know why. Most likely God doesnt know why either. Its just Government business thats all.
