You might as well be apathetic, but if you become apathetic you might as well be dead, since in you don't really have any reason nor right to live.
But that is not someonething someone has to worry about, since you will never become apathetic. You'll become cold and cynical, but never apathetic.
I know someone who claims to be apathetic, but in fact he is not. I have not told him this since he'd just deny it (proving he cares to anybody but him). If I told him I know he would subscribe for the "shoot the messenger" strategy anyway. =/
anyone have any views on stoicism?i just want to understand it more.
