An Apathetic Man: An Average Story

"Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, or concern about something. It is a state of indifference or the suppression of emotion such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion,” said Dr. Salwick Michigan.

"Even with all the reasons, I just said. Is an apathetic person can be less human than us? It can be or not, Afterall some people show emotions such as compassion, kindness but still are cold-blooded killers. Would not this make them less human than anyone else, having emotion and still only caring about their bloodthirst? Killing people for fun and not caring for anything else. At least an apathetic person does not try to kill people, neither for themself nor for anyone else." Dr. Salwick Michigan ended his speech with thunderous laughter looking like the cold-blooded person he mentioned in his speech.

Everyone in the lecture room looking at their professor like he is a psychopath. At the end of imagining Dr. Salwick as a psychopath. Everyone in the classroom started to churn their brains to think about what was just said. Why Dr. Salwick is comparing an Apathetic person to a cold-blooded killer. Ultimately both situations are related to mental illness or some kind of mental trauma. What particularly Dr. Salwick trying to say?

After all, everyone in the school knows about Dr. Salwick's habit. To throw basic information in the class and it is the students' job to make something worthwhile from the given information. While everyone was in their thoughts. Someone raised their hands.

"Yes, Miss Cher." giving permission Dr. Salwick said.

"Dr., you said an apathetic person has a lack of emotion or interest in things. Does not that mean if they see a person dying on the side road, they are unable to save that person since they do not care about that person? For them, that person is the same as any other animal dying on the side road. Then what is the difference between the two?" asked Cher Steinfeld.

"Well, Miss Cher first and foremost let me clear the basic misunderstanding you are having. Let us think a person is feeling hurt when he sees an animal dies but he is more than ok to eat their meat on a different occasion. Well, if we think about this in a more detailed manner. Why a person who felt hurt watching an animal die is more than ok to eat their meat?" asked Dr. Salwick to the class.

"Dr., there are many reasons for that. First of all, it could be someone's illusion to think he is hurting cause he did not want to feel bad. For example, when we see someone begging we do not want to give them money despite that we still gave them some because we did not want to feel guilty. The same thing can be said when we are feeling hurt towards animal deaths cause we do not want to feel guilty for their death. We do not want to own their death and just want to move on with our life. Well, I do want to add that not everyone feels like this." answered Mora Rae.

"Great observation Miss Mora, anyone else."
