Friday's thoughts

"I am neither for or against apathy"
Apathy is one of the biggest problems we have. I leads to an unreflective life; and it leads to all kinds of problems in society and in the world when people allow things to happen and do not make any effort to take responsibility.

Apathy also leads to boredom in life. It leads to an attitude that allows us to live through our days and merely exist; not really live.

Three things will help us with apathy:
1. To wake up to something new by moving away from the routine we accept.
2. To open up to the possibility that there is more we can give than we know we have to give.
3. To participate in a community of faith, and to find a way to realize that everything we do has rammifications. We can make things better in the world if we work together.

Apathy is an important and serious problem.

How do you confront apathy in your life. Write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net.

I look forward to hearing from you.
