Now, here’s a different slant on things -found this post at Dumb Little Man.

When we hear the word “apathy”, we may also hear the words “uncaring”, “soulless”, or “lazy”. You may think that an apathetic person doesn’t like to be bothered with the burdens of the world or even in his immediate community. You may picture him having a slothful attitude. Maybe he doesn’t care too much for his appearance, doesn’t watch the news, or probably would seemingly “accept” another’s argument simply because he can’t be bothered to argue over something that, in the grand scheme of things, won’t change my mind or the other person’s mind.

This is me (most of the time).

I get p***ed at something – maybe I’ll let my feelings shine anywhere from a few hours to a few minutes – and next thing you know, I’ve shifted off into another topic. It’s not that I have a low attention span or don’t care about things, it’s just that, for the most part, things that seem big to other people, usually aren’t that big to me. [read]
