Dealing with apathy- Saturday Symphony # 38

Awareness, inspiration, Kindness, Mindfulness, Motivational, Poetry, prompts, Sadje's View

Ponderous thought prompt.

For the month of May, do some research, or draw from experience, a way in which you’ve got someone who is seemingly apathetic, to open up.

You can use art, images and any form of writing. Pingback here by pasting this post’s link in your own post, and I’ll visit and feature your works in next month’s Symphony.

➰➰➰

Apathy is the biggest ill of our society

We seek attention and love from others

Yet we cannot see beyond our own issues

When we put our own pain, hurt, and issues first

We don’t realize that others are suffering too

This apathy dulls our sensitivity toward others

Many a times, I’ve seen young people ignore the issues

Others are facing and the pain they are going through

So I try to awaken their empathy by pointing out to them

That though they are lucky to be free from such suffering

Others around them are experiencing distress and have difficulties

Lend a helping hand, a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to lean on

For together we are one body where the ill of one should cause pain to the rest

Instilling the habit of doing charitable deeds in younger ones

Is to my mind the best antidote to cure apathy

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  13. I am not sure when it started – but in most US Schools (Jr High or High School) part of the curriculum for graduation is a community service project. Teaching our children to care for others is important. And they learn by example. It is hard though to confront strangers when we see them being cruel.
