The Power of Apathy

Wakington Field


I have been inspired by Hoss' post, and my own maniacal madness, to post something in this newfound hobby of a blog. This excerpt draws from experiences gained from those around me, which includes idiots as well as genuises.

How to Be Apathetic
The easiest way to become apathetic is to simply not care about anything. Find hobbies. Go watch TV, watch anime, play guitar, or just do nothing in general. It really isn't that hard. It's quite simpel in fact. aby writing in this blog right now, I am being slightly apathetic. You may also reference Hoss's procrastination article to gain inspiration. The most common ways to avoid thinking are to respond; that is, to be mentally passive and absorb everything in front of you. For example, one may want to eat, hang out with friends, watch movies, or go to the mall. All these ways work like miracles.

Why Apathy Works
To tell the truth, I really don't know if it does work. It certainly isn't proven anywhere in any book that I've read, or in any acclaimed study. Thus I pass it for my own. When one doesn't care about anything, one does not care. It's as simple as that. There are no worries whatsoever. Stress is meaningless and ceases to exist. Remember, the definition of apathy is uncaring. This is rather obvious.

Apathy may work wonders in genuises. For example, my friend doesn't care about anything. He procrastinates and does everything minimally, but still gets decent grades. Living a stress-free live, he frolicks within. Without the stress most people incur from school, this person easily absorbs information. The key is to be simple-minded. Stress complicates everything; apathy does the opposite. With less mental complications, the free mind can explore new information and remember it up to 50% better than if he had stress. That number is false, of course, but you get the point.
Apathy is Great, But Not For Everyone Simply but, if you can succeed with apathy and you fail without it, then take this course of action. But if you cannot, and must study vigorously everyday, do yourself a favor and keep it that way. Pragmatism decrees a following of working tradition.
