Apathy is the death of unity.

Informed this evening in a discussion with someone that all our attempts with R3D are worthless, because "just like the protests, they don't do shit. You'll never change anything so why bother trying? It doesn't affect me anyway, why should I care what happens to other people?"

Really? Oh my, how foolish we've been, it is so obvious to me now that APATHY is the way forward! Put on your woollen coats and lie down to be trampled and oppressed folks, because actually believing in the possibility of a better society, a free state, improved living, that's all a waste of time! And don't even bother thinking about that tramp in the street or that student who can't go to Uni due to the costs, because it doesn't affect you directly! Why should you care?

Why should we care?

Why should anyone care?

I'll tell you why. We should care because if we don't, no-one will. We should care because it might be us in that position in the future. We should care, because it is RIGHT that we should care, because there is NO reason for someone to be unhappy, in pain, uncared for, bullied, tortured, misplaced, ignored, ridiculed, exiled. We should care, because we have the ability to feel empathy, we have the ABILITY to care and if we don't use that ability, we may aswell not be human at all.

START THINKING.
