“Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.” –Helen Keller

I had a sad moment today.  Apathy exists when I am viewed as a stranger, an outsider.  Apathy will stand idly by as disaster knocks at my door.  It will not sound a warning. 

Those who cloak themselves with indifference excuse their lack of action by saying, “She is not one of us.  What hurt comes her way will not affect us.  Her pain is not ours.  She is not one of us.”
