Apathy.

Goldfinch60



You see them in all walks of life,

Bossing people around,

Making them do the things for them,

With force, pain and misery,

But if you react they have won.

All they want to see is the hurt in you,

If they see nothing they have lost.

So try to treat each occasion with apathy,

As apathy can be a weapon

Which they cannot understand.

    Oh yes, indifference can work wonders. Apathy is certainly a weapon of non violence and I’m all for using it when and should it become necessary. I am listening to your gorgeous posted music. It is so relaxing, I am almost falling back into sleep. Have a wonderful Wednesday Andy.

      in certain instances indifference rules
      indeed we can all be victims of it .. in fact, the title of my third book was Victims of Indifference .. still available folks and cheap as chips

        Actually speaks so loud to me, I recently was tricked by my colleagues and now I cannot trust them. Working in a foreign country is tuff but they did wrong and I'm fine with that. ❤️

        • Goldfinch60

          Sorry to here about that Teddy but I am sure that you will overcome them and all will be well with your colleagues.

              What they don't understand is the door swings both ways. They can be a victim of their own scheme. Well written Andy. 👍

                Some people just don't want to understand AP, it all needs to be done 'their way'. Thank you.

                Brilliant work. I have someone I need to try that with.

                • Goldfinch60

                  With care and discretion - is there nothing which would get you riled up, Andy? Do not politicians profit by your indifference?

                  PS: Thanks for your musical contributions - after I've briefly sampled, I flip them to utube and carry on with great background.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Politicians are a force of there own who do not listen to the right way of doing things Dave, they are only in it for the selves!

                    Glad you like the music, music has always been in my life for over seventy years now.

                    Andy
