Apathy and Us

by Judith GJJeCowta
Everyone get* 'he blue* now and again, right ? Allho ugh why something Been In a very gray aimoat Mack, perspective la termed the blues beats me! Various things ranging Irom tenaton about upcoming exams to pre-party Jitter* can make one fest rotten You look at K favourite dress like It s a
>p sack. your pet anima) gets kicked around like the world a least bouncy ball and you re sure that the world is £~ to end before the day la The day will finish off and the world still remains intact But what about you? The ex urn ate history today and everything around you Is bright and cheery but none of that warmth reaches Inside you. What began as a bad period begins to drain you of all your energy even though the moot strenuous work you’re likely Io do in this condition Is stare around you blankly Anything you do would be better off un done You re loo sick to even wonder what has happened aM afa at^drn
These are the symptoms of a condition called apathy When you used to see anyone whose fave word was boring you'd g>. "Oh you apathetic be tag. the world could do with out such lazy creatures as yourself ' But the society of the nineties Is positively a more aware 1W than It used to be Thus when we see people like the one I Just described we know that person la in need or serious help Apathy H not brought about by anting around refusing to gs out and mix Even the most active person (may be doing something just brraiier the job has to be done
Let me relate to you the average day of a working girt victim to the vicious mysteries syndrome or acute apathy sure of work (she is a re porter) that prevents her from being a complete human veg *e Over the years she has k>at Interest In readlrw novels but
hungrily devours journals to improve her won professional abilities Because she works almoat round the clock her social life Is almoat non existent, and dates arc turned down because Tm too tired to move another muscle maybe some other time which both par ties know might never come After the refusal i* made Ms A wonder* why she did that because I spend Io much time with lo many people through my work, that’s why vatlsfac -lory explanalkai
Ms A s life consists of a hectic workday and endless moments In solitude Whal a life eh? You'd think a media person could do better. Colleagues presume she W recuperating from a derailed love affair Our subject bebeves she receives all the love and sup port she needs from her family and a relationship la not worth her while.
M> A sounds like she needs help, doesn't she? And my guess is that she knows It In this case you can lead the horse to the waler but you can t force it to drink Unless such victims open themselves up there is nothing to be done. Apathy Is more apparent In women than tn men but that does not mean 11 does not ex 1st! Women are leas likely to admit there* something •rong with them and develop into amazingly good dtsacm biers. The typical chauvinistic reply to the fact that aromen are more widely and drasticsBy affected is that men don't have the time to *M around and feel drpwanil. Depression is never sought out: you don't go looking for ft. tt comes and find* you first
Remember that people who suddenly change from cheery to ghim arc not polling sad faces so that you will notice them Like I said before everyone has their bad day* which eventually pass But the perpetual frown and cynical out look >* your cue for taking a step for humanity
In this world where some
one I* being murdered or criminally violated In the blink of an eye. we should all try and do our bit to lighten the bur den of sorrow and depression Especially for those who live life In the fast lane and the Idea of a few quiet momenta lo oneself mean* moping around well forget ft If the oppressed and the starving can manage a smile for the world, surely you can manage one for yourself Cheer up and forget the thing* which make you depressed In Ihe least bit. for you never know how far that Httie bit may stretch Life * too short to be taken too seriously anyway!
