The definition of apathy is:
1. absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement.
2. lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting.
More commonly known as: ” I don’t just don’t care anymore!”
Causes of apathy in today’s society include:
- No job or income
- Cold society and/or family conflicts
- Lack of caring or concerned friends
- Overall dissatisfaction about how things have turned out in one’s life
- Lack of progress
- Regression
- Loneliness
- Lack of direction or purpose in life
- Disappointments
- Mental or physical illness
- Everywhere you turn,things don’t seem to go your way
- Sense of reaching a dead-end
Apathy is depression’s cousin and apathy tends to mess up your thought processes turning them into self-defeating and self-destructive behaviors. Apathy is unhealthy. Apathy bottles up anger.
The only way to combat apathy is to fight it before it takes over your life.
If you suffer from apathy and think life hasn’t been fair to you for one reason or another, do whatever you can to change your thought patterns, get into action, be productive, serve other people instead of hating them or blaming them for your real or perceived failures and move on with courage, determination and hope.
Speaking of hope, hopelessness is apathy’s sister.
Apathetic people run the risk of becoming hopeless and hopelessness tends to generate huge indifference and despair. Many apathetic people become cynical and addicted to fault-finding.
Apathy is a menace to society!
Things are falling apart around people and they just sit there doing nothing to save others or themselves. They know the dam is cracking, ready to break and flood the city drowning its inhabitants and yet people just sit in their homes watching Dancing with the Stars and eating pop tarts.
Apathy and indifference are twins.
Most things are really “in our heads!” Change the way the brain thinks and feels and most of life’s adversities – the ones that you have control over – can be changed!
Strive to engage into positive, creative action, problem-solving before the dam breaks and the waters of indifference wash you away into oblivion. Change your environment, change clothes, shave, get a decent hair cut, clean up your mess, dump negative, uncaring people that don’t contribute to your progress, objectives and happiness.

Dump negative circumstances, dump addictions and negativity, clean up your brain from all its negativity, garbage input and output, decide to change your life today and move on with positive energy and enthusiasm. Remember to always refill your emotional and spiritual reserves to avoid falling back into old habits and destructive, self-defeating thought patterns and just keep going!
Pray!
The biggest battles in life are usually those that we fight within ourselves. Make a decision to win by getting rid of apathy! The world around you tends to change when people change.
Get unstuck!
