Indifference pretends to create peace, but it is based on not caring, a silent resignation.
It is a movement away, a separation fed by a subtle fear of the heart. We pull back, believing that what happens to others is not our concern. Our courage leaves us.
Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.
—Jack Kornfield
