Apathy can also be what happens when your community ignores you and life beats you while everyone expects you to be enthusiastic. It's not always the fault of the person. Sometimes it's a symptom of a failing society.

[@millenniumzeek]

Apathy doesn’t comes from comfort nor complacency… it comes from despair , from losing hope. Like the last thread of sanity just snap

[@melancholiusmonkey-mann5749]

This seems obvious to me. I think the Rabbi has formed preconceived notions about where apathy comes from. I agree with you, I am most apathetic when I feel despair. I feel despair from a sense of hopelessness. If I belonged to a group, let's say, that believe as the Rabbi does, thst COMFORT, makes you feel less for life's purpose. And that people need to be tortured with what I imagine they'd call a "wake up call" then of course I would justify my sadistic penchant on this idea thst my targets are just fat happy listless losers in need of "challenges". This is unfortunately a wicked mindset

[@theworldaccordingtoheather7071]

Yes, apathy does happen through dispare... but much of dispare is caused by the comfortable being apathetic towards the despairing.

[@dragodons]

Often yes. I do not believe any human is by nature apathetic.

[@lauracaruso2524]

I think a lot of apathy is caused by comfort, especially in this country. What you are referring to sounds like hopelessness, helplessness, and fear. These definitely can immobilize us.

Truth. I went through 4 years of apathy. Scariest time of my life. Pain put me in apathy, then for 4 years i could not feel joy, exitment, happiness or caring for the future. I existed only to raise my children. But i knew i wanted back what id lost. It took years, i am forever changed, but i found my way back. Hope and joy in the journey has returned. I am forever greatful

Hi my friend thank you for sharing this! I would also really apreciate to know how did you find your way back. I am not in very scary apathy, I can feel joy and I care for the future but I went through an emotional shock some months ago and since then I go through periods of complet apathy. I sleep a lot, if I have a free afternoon I just sleep I feel constantly very tired. I wanna know how to reverse it I try but its not easy for me to have a good night sleep.or to have healthy meals without a tone of cofee

[@jjtrades7186]

I've become apathetic for sure. I gave up on this world about 20 years ago. Everyday the news was a little bit worse than the previous day and mentally I just detached out of necessity. Id rather not exist than fit in to whatever this current world is tbh. To me, that is commitment to my inner self

[@ukko8457]

I can relate, the current culture, atleast in western countries is sick and I'd rather not be too much involved with it, but then again I still spent quite a lot of time on the internet, so am I afterall that much detached from the culture? Or just part of the otherside of culture the ''invisible'' side.

[@jjtrades7186]

Fair point. I suppose on the internet we have alot more control over what we're exposed to and what we're not. I think a part of me has been waiting to see the world return to some basic normalcy, only to be discouraged a bit more each year. I dont think the world will stop spinning without me or my bloodline, but I do think the world will become more difficult and I didnt want to subject someone Id love to that kind of misery

[@nattfodd7728]

That's why it's important to stay encouraged and to keep encouraging others. Apathy will weaken your body, mind and spirit.

[@bestlifeever4548]

This is why no one is standing up against what's wrong they have created apathy in everyone including children. When everyone is too gone to care or fight then they can do whatever and do because know everyone is too much in own survival and then checked out to fight . But what if that's what we are supposed to do before being marched to our end without fight? Have we all given up and just feel like pointless or hopeless? I'm talking about myself too. We become complacent and just making it worse.

[@RADIUMGLASS]

I'd say about three years ago was the beginning of my apathy. When you're young, yes you have desire, motivation and the rest but when you go 20 years of not doing or obtaining what you had interest in, you stop caring. Even when it comes to living, you just don't even care about your own health anymore. Right now I feel as if I'm going through bed rotting.

… Apathy hit me the first time when I was in my adolescence and got kicked out of school when I really did not want to quit school. I have never been able to find my purpose and have looked at people like my brother who found theirs early on. It has in between working (in my eyes often) meaningless jobs been an ongoing search and pain to feel lost. Without purpose. But also any time I find something that seems right, soon enough the “there’s no use” feeling sets in. You say the soul is a flame and that is almost opposite to how I feel. I have been frozen so long but time and again I keep trying, because honestly I was and am still so eager to learn new things. I am 44 years old now. I mean when ever someone asks my help I go and help them. And also ask people if they need help when ever I see an opportunity. Your words have put tears in my eyes and I feel anger and sadness. Not at all because of you 🙂. But it is just a pain-spot that I do not know how to heal. But I keep trying ❤️

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ― Rumi

[@johnlynch-kv8mz]

I can remember some years back, when I was living on the sidewalk. One might call that apathetic, but I would definitely suggest to anyone to live on the street for at least a year , a month at least, and that’s a sweet taste, and nothing else! This is not my point. There is apathy and there is wherewithal. I lack both. I was going thru some (probably self generated) crisis. Something was bugging me bad. The general state of my life was deplorable. Except it wasn’t my present that was bringing tears to my eyes now remembering that day, and I can’t really put words to it , except, I knew it concerned the future. Not just mine. And I needed to hear the right thing. I say that, because once I heard it I knew, and the relief was so palpable I could almost measure it. I met a down and out couple, later middle aged, sharing a fifth ( a handle) of whatever every single day, yet THEY, gave ME five dollars, and what they said next, made all the difference. They, the guy did, He said, saying, “ It gets worse, you know.” There are times when I get suspicious and I ask myself, “ Did I just meet HASHEM, or one of His Angels?” This may sound silly to some, but I am serious. That day I wasn’t suspicious, but certain, and grateful, and thankful, and filled with Awe, respect, that He would even notice a wretch like me. I’m not homeless any longer any more. My foundation is solid. I don’t own it , but I don’t seek ownership like that. That’s just me. I got bigger fish to fry. My situation is good, so I try to stay busy. Sometimes I slack, but I got reminders, and friends. Thanks Rabbi.

I felt totally apathetic and would not get out of bed for three years. I finally decided I was not going to wait for a sense of enthusiasm or energy or purpose to get me going. I had to do it despite missing all of those things that used to make living and moving forward so "easy". I just got up and did stuff (exercise, socializing etc...) regardless. It was the apathy or me. I am only halfway to where I want to be ... am hoping something 'kicks in' eventually to make it easier. In the meantime I am adjusting to this new way of living and have decided that maybe this is just my latest 'challenge' and I have a responsibility to work through it. Not much 'fun' but I think I am making progress.

[@cooglerHere]

Hi, Rabbi: Your message today is so timely & highly accurate on many levels. In retirement one struggles to stay alive, engaged, repurposed, needed, wanted. Some days, it's easy just to float; but atrophy sets in if one isn't careful. --Yesterday, a storm blew thru w/85 mph winds & emergency services advised all to seek a sturdy shelter. The air was so electric, the sky ominously dark at midday. The wind snapped tree-size limbs off healthy trees, seemingly chunking them at me. I was invigorated long past the need to get the potted plants off the balcony, etc. It was enlivening to move w/the wind, the heart to race in the moment. That 45 mins of storm killed apathy outright. Now, I don't think I'll die tomorrow; I see more clearly, I've got things to do. Life & this planet is wonderful. And, I do so love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much for your vids & encouragements.

The opposite of love is not hate, it is apathy..

[@lucidhooded4147]

Yea, apathy is a bit intense. It seems like I often like to think of what it was like when I was exploring the world with friends as a child. Memories of bicycling around with other neighborhood kids searching thru the woods for new trails, trees to climb in, creeks to play in, logs to walk on, berry bushes that felt like gold mines and works of art. Remembering the feeling of this can give me fresh energy. Also remembering and thinking of the absurd possibilities of amazing beautiful outcome that might be possible in the future seem to help break me out of this. Also the intense wide eyed fear of not being sure if I have become too apathetic shocks me into realizing that I might be sliding down that ice mountain of apathy and slamming my ice axe into the surface to stop this slide and reverse the progress. I wonder how much of apathy in my situation is from not making a point to figure out how to formulate the small plans consistently that might lead to getting to the desired outcomes that more obviously seem to be of importance. I might have gave up if the past, present and future didn't seem to have so much absurd hidden beauty. I find comfort that some body might find great joy from harmonious and well made structures past this turbulent time. Somebody, maybe a bunch of sombodys.

My husband used to almost or actually fall asleep during the school special occasion teachers speeches. I used to think it was because he was bored or couldn’t connect with the important and heartfelt story these heads of school were conveying on the special occasion. But I also thought it was extremely rude. Sitting near the front corner, nobody really saw him. Now I see it as wisdom. Half of any of these so called speeches were never impacted or impressed on us or held anything profound or long lasting. Most of it was simply a frivolous formality that dresses up occasions. Not to be negative, but put your energy where your passion is or where it’s most beneficial. This life is but a temporary pit stop, a ride, a dream. Most of it has been programmed by the mind in 4 D before coming non to this plane. So besides your family ( hopefully not dysfunctional) what more endearing reason is there to be alive?

Very good “lecture” on a very important issue. Apathy. I have seen it in multiple health care settings.

This greatly explains why most of my mission statement in life is teaching others to find their God - given role and purpose and do it with all their heart. It brings joy, peace and great fulfillment. We often give people a simple test to find out what giftings they have, many don't even know what they are good at. When they find they have giftings it can be overwhelming for some, but eventually when they see they are of value... they begin to launch out into new areas. The greatest joy I have is seeing this happen in a persons life when before they were suicidal, unkept, feeling unloved, devalued and walking with the weight of the world on their shoulders! Excellent lesson - I greatly enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

I couldn’t disagree more. Being apathetic to what you can’t control is real power. Many unhappy people are‘driven’ and full of desire. Fighting for things is futile and leads to anger and frustration. Drive is a ridiculous waste of energy. Go with the flow and find the beauty and wonder already around you. Stop striving and simply enjoy being. Then your life will unfold in a natural and less stressful way. I’ve known many people’at the top’, and most were miserable. Look around and simply make the most of what you have. Thanks .

I love to make the uncomfortable comfortable and the comfortable uncomfortable - and the latter is so easy to do! Just say something true that goes against the politically "correct" brainwashed majority's beliefs and they have a meltdown. It's become one of my favorite pastimes! Each time I hope to plant a little seed to make them think, and sometimes it actually works. Thank you again, Rabbi Simon for talking about this huge problem. We live in the United States of Apathy, and its people need to wake up.

As a conscious being aware of the word of G-d, I deal with existential angst. In particular, I am very dissatisfied with the morality of the general society that we call "west." I hear the word an realize that the prophecies are near fulfillment, but I do not know (although I asked to be reminded) of what my G-dly purpose is in this fallen world. Please pray for people like me. Proverbs 13 12 *Hope* *deferred* *makes* *the* *heart* *sick,* *but* *a* *longing* *fulfilled* *is* *a* *tree* *of* *life.*

You can't come to better know and love God and to walk in your life in a way that pleases and serves him if you're apathetic. Being apathetic makes you lukewarm or cold, and you need to be white hot if you want to grow and live.

Apathy is a defense mechanism to empathy and empathy only leads to pain and suffering in this world since no good deed goes unpunished. Apathy is a way of sitting on the sidelines and watching the world play its games which make no sense to play unless you want to lose and feel suffering and end up where you started on the sidelines.
