The Complacent Don’t Care

"Tolerance is a tremendous virtue, but the immediate neighbours of tolerance are apathy and weakness."
                                                                                                                                                                                --James Goldsmith

May 07, 2011 "Information Clearing House" -- Psychologist Rollo May wrote, "Hate is not the opposite of love. Apathy is." To that, well known 20th century American author Leo Buscaglia added, "It's not giving a damn." Those two voices go a long way toward making clear what apathy is.

What is it that we don't give a damn about that should concern us?

Think for a moment about those who preach love of fellow humans but who are uncaring and disinterested about those who should be the concern of any humanist.
