Apathy.

Life happens. 

It's an obvious statement that we're all aware of.

Life is also unpredictable. 

We hope for the best and expect the worst so as to not crush ourselves. 

Often we think we know what will happen next, and despite how much we think we know and despite how much we prepare ourselves, we can never expect what is going to happen. 

When it happens, we convince ourselves into a state of apathy. 

We say we don't care, and we're neutral, and we're fine. 

But can we ever be apathetic to huge life events?

Apathy is a strong word. 

Apathy is defined as a lack of feeling or emotion, a lack of interest or concern.

Life is like a train wreck. 

We all desire a sense of apathy towards the negative events that happen, and even apathy towards the positive events so our expectations are not set too high. 

The bottom line is the train wreck interests us. 

We can not be apathetic. 

We sit on the edge of our seats waiting for the next great event in life. 

We wait for the train wreck, or for something positive. 

Apathy does not exist as we attempt to make it.

I think apathy and neutralism are a very interesting states of existence. I suppose they are philosophical in that they affect how we think. Just like the majority of philosophical theories, there are flaws to the arguments. Like I said, I don't think we can really be truly neutral or apathetic toward anything despite our best efforts. I do think our indifference guides us to a stronger caring towards one or the other. Our lack of caring makes us care, reverse psychology, per say. 

Just remember, the unexpected occurs. But apathy is never to be expected.
