Apathy
​– 日々に疎し

Picture
“Orange Farm”, Enoura, Kanagawa, Japan, 2016
「『無関心』とは、一般の人々が巨大な何かに面したときの無力、不能の感情だと私は信じている。人々が無関心なのではなく、人々は事態を気にしているのだが、それに対してどのように対処していいか判らない、だからなにもしないで無関心を装うのである」
— ハワード・ジン、アメリカ合衆国の歴史家

“What is called "apathy" is, I believe, a feeling of helplessness on the part of the ordinary citizen, a feeling of impotence in the face of enormous power. It's not that people are apathetic; they do care about what is going on, but don't know what to do about it, so they do nothing, and appear to be indifferent.”
— Howard Zinn,  American historian
