"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference" - Elie Wiesel
What a beautiful sayings. While Idlan says indifference can be our biggest enemy, I think indifference is necessary to deal with a person who is not worth our attention, emotion and reaction.
Someone said something hurtful today. I'm not actually sad. It is more of an annoyance that someone choose to does that when I have not done anything to him. It seems he is not man enough to take the email I forwarded to one of my yahoogroup as how any forwarded email should be taken.
I've said my piece and he did not apologize for attacking me over a forwarded email or just leave things as it is if an apology is too much for his ego. While I strongly feel like giving another counter attack, I've decided not to. His opinion did not matter. He can wallow in his bitterness for all I care. While the world would be better without such people, there are quite many of them around and we have to tolerate their existence. Be indifference for our peace of mind.
