"Man is dead! the man is dead!!!"

I always thought that it was fine… and that it is normal, it is usual and well accepted world wide. And because it is status quo, it is safe.

What am I talking about? I am talking about living as a shell, a pretty, intricately designed but empty shell. And that is me… living without a cause, living without an aim… living without a purpose… or at least… a purpose solely hinged on Me. Am I a spoilt brat? No.

But i am someone without a core, a heart (im not being cruel) but really, I do not have passion for any cause yet… I do not feel strongly for anything. Is that the illness of my generation? Does that mean it is ok? NO! it is normal but normalcy is not a word I want to associate with.

Apathy, an unusually short word for a problem of unbelievable magnitude… you may think that it is a small thing… compared to the 7 sins but Apathy is more that what it seems. I read somewhere that there was this phenomenon in the 19th Century that God is dead and the author went on to say that in the 20th Century the man is dead. It is not dying is that scary.. now is it? It is what dying means… that is the antonym of dying… which is the- not living, that is scary. And that, in another word… is Apathy.

I mean, lets look at it. The lack of interest precedes the lack of knowledge; I am ignorant because I am not interested in the matter to find out. This means that we have identified a cause to ignorance (let not talk about how I am unable to find out.. because if I am interested… I would be able find a means to find out… that can be hold to be true to most) So… apathy can be tied to ignorance. And ignorance is another huge can of worms. It is a problem… a serious, drop dead serious problem.

Can we cure ignorance? YES.. thats what education’s solving… Can we cure apathy? YES… that is what education is supposed to solve… motivate the mind, ensnare the heart to causes- global, local, universal, niche… whatever the lot.

Well, that all seems nice and cozy… except... what if education… dint do that for me? I mean me, not you, not everyone out there… just me? What if?
