Its everywhere to the point in hitting apathy against apathy myself
It's always been wars, always been slavery, always been sickness.
If anything, we have it much better than before. How do you think it was growing up during the world wars?
Those where just the easy ones out of the top of my head, we both know those are the the miniscule tip of the eisberg.
But dont you think you are just dismissing it yourself by saying we "always had those", sounds pretty apathetic to me.
Not to me, it just sounds normal. The reason people feel apathy is because there is a difference between expectation and reality that is very big for them.
It's the thought of "I need the world to be different for me to feel good" that is causing the apathy. You can change the thoughts on this and feel much, much better by being very grateful for having so much choice as a human being to find things you enjoy.
