As my mum was driving us home from the movie store, a flashback from a comic book came to my mind through a bizarre series of thoughts that I was developing for no apparent reason other than to keep busy but as a result to make me depressed. -run-on sentence right there- I thought of a quote I'de found very remarkable in a philosophical but humorous comic book by graphic novel author from my magnificent country. So in the comic book there are two cats and given the literary device of personification, they can speak. The first one is a very intellectual and sophisticated type who cares about subjects such as poetry and world salvation, to the contrary the second cat is the "I don't give a fuck about anything" type. So one day the first cat asks the second cat, "Do you act like this because of ignorance or because of indifference?" and the second one answers, "I don't know and I don't care!!!"
Why am I randomly mentioning this now? Well given the quote I started wondering why people in my school act the way they act? Why does my ex act as if he doesn't care about anything, although I know he is a considerate person? Why do I walk the corridors with the motto "I don't give a fuck" in my mind while I am neither ignorant nor indifferent? What do you think?

Sort of on the topic, I once wrote a very good article about the difference between love and hate. I found that there was very little difference, and often times, they is only a thin line that divides them.
ReplyDeleteThrough logical inquiry, I discovered that hate wasn't the opposite of love, but rather, indifference was it's opposite.
Whether you love someone or hate someone, you exhibit very strong feelings for that person and give them a lot of consideration, and if you really didn't care about someone, you probably wouldn't think about them at all.
You are right. The opposite of love is indifference .. not hate.
ReplyDeleteToday I had a discussion with my mother about friendship. I told her I believed that some of my friends weren't real friends if they talk to me one day and ignore me the next and that such friendship is pointless.
my mother brought up some fights I had with my best friends as an example to show me that even if we aren't always in good terms it doesn't mean there we aren't true friends.
Then I remembered what you said so I told her that with my best friends we fought because we cared for each other. We didn't just give up, and we remained friends until now. However there are some people I've hang out with that suddenly started to ignore me, therefore there hadn't been any special bond between us.
