Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable
— John Stott
The lack of emotion, lack of concern, and excitement is called apathy. The most basic requirements of any relationship are the emotional connection with each other or the concern for each other. When someone lacks these basics, he not only harms the person who cares but also slowly detaches themselves from their loved one. This essentially leads to lose the purpose of life and make people equal to monsters.
