Age of Indifference

The lull after the storm... After the inner turmoil that one goes through... The friendships ended... After the bridges burned... and the ripple effect of choices made... then comes Indifference.

Facing choices to withdraw emotional investments bring about an inner conflict that leaves a pang of regret, whatever path is taken. When one finally decides to withdraw these ties, there is an immense sense of loss felt. But as they say, time heals all wounds... and when one comes to this end, relief, contentment, and a renewed sense of inner strength are attained.

In times of heartaches and disappointments, feel the hurt and experience the pain, do not dare ignore it. For what does not destroy you, makes you stronger.

Indifference in this sense is a good thing, in my view. For when you cease to become a friend who invests feelings of concern and care with these people, you start to accept more, and not expect anything from them. Disappointing episodes are but nuisances you brush off. You are neither judgemental nor supportive of them. It is in the end, very good for your heart.

Sad truth, isn't it?
