indifference

The opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference.

Silence and indifference would not take you anywhere at the end of the day. It is only people who show upright positions in standing for the truth that win at last. When we become quiet at the collapsed value system in our nation, iniquity and injustice would eventually overrun that nation if action is not taken promptly.

Silence and indifference would not take you anywhere at the end of the day.

And remember, silence is all it takes to validate evil and remember, indifference is all it takes to endorse it.

The brevity of our lives breeds a kind of temporal parochialism__n ignorance of or an indifference to those planetary gears which turn more slowly than our own.

Incredulity and indifference were her only reaction: incredulity, because she could not conceive of what would bring human beings to such a state __ndifference, because she could not regard those who reached it, as human any longer.

Since the basic cause of man__ anxiety is the possibility of being either a saint or a sinner, it follows that there are only two alternatives for him. Man can either mount upward to the peak of eternity or else slip backwards to the chasms of despair and frustration. Yet there are many who think there is yet another alternative, namely, that of indifference. They think that, just as bears hibernate for a season in a state of suspended animation, so they, too, can sleep through life without choosing to live for God or against Him. But hibernation is no escape; winter ends, and one is then forced to make a decision__ndeed, the very choice of indifference is itself a decision. White fences do not remain white fences by having nothing done to them; they soon become black fences. Since there is a tendency in us that pulls us back to the animal, the mere fact that we do not resist it operates to our own destruction. Just as life is the sum of forces that resist death, so, too, man__ will must be the sum of the forces that resist frustration. A man who has taken poison into his system can ignore the antidote, or he can throw it out the window; it makes no difference which he does, for death is already on the march. St. Paul warns us, __ow shall we escape it we neglect so great a salvation_ (Heb 2:3). By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward. There are no plains in the spiritual life, we are either going uphill or coming down. Furthermore the pose of indifference is only intellectual. The will must choose. And even though an __ndifferent_ soul does not positively reject the infinite, the infinite rejects it. The talents that are unused are taken away, and the Scriptures tell us that, __ut because though art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth_ (Rev. 3:16).

What else could I do? You couldn't just say no. I had to think about...my...position.

Indifference is more truly the opposite of love than hate is, for we can both love and hate the same person at the same time, but we cannot both love and be indifferent to the same person at the same time.

Indifference is the worst kind of response when love is expressed. Hate is not the antithesis of love; it__ the nonexistence of feeling, a pervasive apathy. When hate is present, so is love. It__ passion gone sour and fueled by pain, but, nonetheless, it__ passion and love is apparently still alive. Yet when indifference seeps into our spirits, an emotional numbness and permitted scotoma takes the place of any passion _ whether it__ love or hate _ and resigns in a new state of being.

They say that people fall in and out of love, but do they, too, fall in hate? Or fall into indifference? It has hindered men for ages the notion that one falls in love rather than decides to truly love, the notion that his lack of control, on the B-side, can also make him fall in hate or indifference without the responsibility to help it or control it.

If I hate a person, then I must still love him as well.. For the insignificant ones, I don't hate.. I just lose interest and become indifferent..

Hate is a strong emotion. Much more stronger than indifference. But those who burn with hate can also love just as intensely.

I need to learn to stay away from those who want to steal my heart and replace it with steel.

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.
