Indifference is a human state manifested in indifference, indifference and coldness towards something. In my opinion, indifference is one of the worst mental states, worse even than hatred, because indifference is a sign of not just a callous, but a dead soul. Indifferent people are not capable of sympathy and empathy; their “good feelings,” to use Pushkin’s words, cannot be awakened. I agree with the opinion of Albert Schweitzer, since a moral person cannot help but sympathize with the grief or joy of his neighbor, and morality is a set of mental and spiritual qualities necessary for a person in society.

L.N. Tolstoy reflects on the ways of moral self-improvement in his epic novel “War and Peace.” The writer believes: “To live honestly, you have to rush, get confused, fight, make mistakes. Start and quit, and start again, and always struggle and lose. And calmness is spiritual meanness.” It seems to me that here “calmness” is synonymous with indifference. This is exactly how calm and indifferent Helen Kuragina, a typical representative of the “golden youth” of the early 19th century, is shown. She was used to shining at balls, stunning everyone with her “victorious beauty.” But besides external attractiveness, Helen has nothing at heart. Therefore, she is indifferent to the experiences of Pierre, who became her husband, and therefore she allows herself to play with the feelings of other people (when she sends her brother Anatole to Natasha Rostova, destroying her life), and therefore she is indifferent to the fate of the Fatherland (when on the day of the Battle of Borodino she is at an evening in salon of Anna Pavlovna Scherer). Helen, “who never loved anything except her body,” in Tolstoy’s novel is the embodiment of evil and immorality, therefore her death is symbolic: “Countess Bezukhova died from a terrible attack of angine pectorale,” as Tolstoy writes, that is, from an attack of angina pectoris, as They called it angina pectoris, otherwise heart failure. She died in those very days when the fate of Russia was being decided, and many were dying for their country, which Helen did not think about, but death did not cleanse her in our eyes, because she died in the same way as she lived: without thinking about anyone, except yourself, entangled in the infinite her selfishness, and her death is as surrounded by lies as life.

Moreover, many of the high society lead such a false life. The author of “War and Peace” shows St. Petersburg salon life as a formal existence of people indifferent to everything: “Everyone greeted an unknown, uninteresting and unnecessary aunt,” guests in Anna Pavlovna’s salon said “out of habit, like a wound-up clock,” the hostess herself starts up a “decent talking machine.” With these details, Tolstoy shows the mechanistic, vulgar, spiritual life of people who have forgotten that “indifference is the enemy of morality.”

However, among the Russian nobles of the early nineteenth century there are people familiar with secular conventions and etiquette, but who have retained morality. This is how all members of the Rostov family appear on the pages of the novel. Tolstoy contrasts the first image of the reception at A.P. Sherer with the name day in the Rostovs’ house. Here the guests are warmly welcomed by the owner himself, Count Ilya Rostov, and the hostess of the house talks with the ladies with interest. Countess Rostova sincerely sympathizes with her friend Drubetskaya, participating in the fate of her son Boris and helping with money, although the Rostovs themselves are by no means rich. It was in such a family that Natasha Rostova, one of the most sincere and caring heroines of Tolstoy’s novel, grew up. At the beginning of the story, this “ugly but lively girl” is sincere, sensitive, open to everything. She cannot be indifferent to the experiences of her friend Sonya, who is crying bitterly because of Nikolai, and, without asking anything, cries with her, and then consoles her and invites her to sing together. She is not indifferent to the fate of the wounded remaining in Moscow, captured by the French, so she offers to give them the carts on which the last of her dowry was laid. She is devoted in love, caring for the mortally wounded Andrei Bolkonsky, and inconsolable in her grief after his death. But it is precisely indifference to the grief of others, compassion for her mother’s grief, that brings Natasha back to life: she shares her mother’s misfortune after the death of Petya. In the epilogue we see Natasha as the wife of Pierre Bezukhov. A beloved and loving husband, children, home - this is the reward for honesty, sincerity, concern and nobility. Of course, Natasha Rostova is L.N.’s moral ideal. Tolstoy.

I believe that only a person who is caring, responsive, and sensitive to others can preserve a living soul. Education of morality, of course, is not easy and constant work, largely guided by the authors of your favorite books. One of my favorite writers, Maxim Gorky, said: “Do not be indifferent, for indifference is deadly to the human soul.” Reading Russian classics, I am convinced of the correctness of such judgments.

INDIFFERENCE
Are you indifferent?
Indifference is paralysis of the soul, premature death
A. P. Chekhov

Indifference as a personality quality is the loss of the ability to love something or someone. Indifferent love is a stupid incompatible phrase, as absurd as the combination of mortal murder or good Evil.

An indifferent person is one who has lost the ability to love, a person with a burnt-out heart. Sergei Yesenin described this state: “And nothing will disturb the soul, And nothing will make it tremble, - He who loved cannot love, He who is burned, you cannot set him on fire.” When love for something or someone lives in a person Well, it overflows and pours out on those around you, it cannot be measured and hidden.

The damage and destructiveness of indifference lies in the absence of love. A callous person with a hardened heart can tenderly love himself, his wife and children, without showing his feelings and without showing emotions. There is no equal sign between indifference and callousness; these are far from synonymous. In most families, men, to one degree or another, show callousness towards loved ones, but accusing them of lack of love means a cruel insult. They were not taught in childhood, and they do not know how to show love, tenderness and affection. If indifference to one's wives and children coincided with callousness, we would have universal celibacy.

Somehow Love meets on its way Falling in Love.
- Hello, love! How I admire you, you are the strongest feeling!
- exclaims Love.
“Yes, I’m stronger than you,” Lyubov agrees.
- But do you know what my strength is? – she asks thoughtfully.
– Because people cannot be happy without you, you connect hearts
- Love answers confidently.
- No, this is not my strength, what makes me strong is my ability to forgive,
– Love does not agree.
– What can you forgive if you are already hurt by Betrayal? - Love is perplexed.
“Yes, I suffer greatly from Betrayal,” says Lyubov,
- but I can forgive Betrayal, since a person commits this act not out of malice, but out of ignorance.
– But you won’t be able to forgive Treason!
- exclaims Love. - Yes, it’s difficult to forgive Betrayal,
– states Lyubov.
– But I can also forgive Cheating, because the person who cheated has the opportunity to choose the best, comparing people through trial and error. – Could you really forgive Lies?
- asks Love.
- Stupid, it’s a lie
- this is only human weakness, it causes less harm than all other feelings. Often people lie out of reluctance to hurt or out of awareness of their own hopelessness, and this is not so bad. – So, it’s normal for people to hide the truth and lie to each other? - Love is perplexed.
“Of course, people can tell lies, but not when they truly love,” answers Lyubov. Therefore, lying has nothing to do with me; when people love, they don’t lie. – What else can you forgive?
- Love is interested.
– I can forgive Anger, because it is short-lived and passes over time, Harshness, since it is caused by Sadness, and a person is upset not for his own reason. I can forgive the insult, it
“The elder sister of Disappointment, I can still forgive Disappointment, since Suffering often comes for her,” answers Love.
- Oh, Love, I wish I had your strength! - Love exclaims admiringly.
- But I’m not like that, I go out at the first test. How I envy you!
- You're wrong, my girl! – Love does not agree.
– There is a feeling that even I cannot forgive. Indeed, I can forgive a lot, but this terrible feeling can cause me severe pain, and there is no medicine in the world to cure it. This feeling poisons me and hurts me more than Betrayal and Treason, it hurts me worse than Evil, Lies and Resentment.

This feeling is called Indifference, it is the most terrible of all existing feelings. Disgust, Hatred and Contempt are also negative feelings, but they express an attitude towards a person. They are nothing compared to Indifference. An indifferent person does not care about the feelings of others and what is happening in their lives.

It is indifference that is stronger than me, it destroys Love.B. Yasensky in “The Conspiracy of the Indifferent” wrote: “Do not be afraid of enemies - in the worst case, they can kill. Don't be afraid of your friends - at worst, they can betray you. Fear the indifferent - they do not kill or betray, but it is with their silent consent that betrayals and murders are committed on earth.”

An indifferent, that is, an indifferent person is nothing, dreaming, amorphous, passive or, as it is said in the book of Revelation 3:15-16, “lukewarm”: “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot; Oh, that you were cold or hot! But because you are warm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.” A “hot” or “cold” person is expressed in some way, has his own face, position, opinion. A “warm” person, that is, an indifferent person, is not capable of an active spiritual life. Often, the root of indifference is buried in distant childhood. For a child, expressing emotions is a vital need. If you reject it, it will not disappear anywhere, because it serves as a manifestation of the essence of the little person.

The need will remain unfulfilled inside and will persistently seek other indirect forms of manifestation. Unfortunately, when realized, the needs of the psyche take on a distorted appearance, as happens with indifference. The child was rudely forbidden to show his emotions. He developed emotional fear. But you cannot escape from nature; the manifestation of feelings and emotions is an important human need. To fulfill the need, he puts on a mask of indifference.

The subconscious firmly preserves children's dislike, lack of warmth and affection, lack of proper attention and care from parents. Statistics say that most indifferent people in childhood were deprived of maternal love and care. In later life, there is an ordinary “transfer” of attitudes towards oneself in childhood to one’s spouse, children and other people. For parents, indifference returns like a boomerang. Adolescents are characterized by a certain form of indifference, mistakenly taken for maturity. Boys are instilled with the belief that a real man should not be emotional, tough and extremely restrained, otherwise he will be considered a “weak man.”

Therefore, young men try on a mask of indifference. In addition to a difficult childhood deprived of love, the mask of indifference gradually develops mental laziness in a person, preventing him from responding to other people’s worries and providing effective help in difficult times. Mental laziness eats away at the soul, forcing you to truly play the role of an indifferent person - not to interfere, not to pay attention, to take care of your nerves and strength. Gradually, the principles of indifference ripen in the mind: “My hut is on the edge, I don’t know anything”, “My shirt is closer to my body”, “After us there’s a flood”, “Our business is a side”, “Even if the grass doesn’t grow.”

Over time, indifference becomes a serious mental illness, the further development of which means complete indifference to everything in the world, even to oneself. Just as rust eats up iron, indifference, without conscious effort on the part of a person, gradually enslaves and destroys his soul. A person irrevocably withdraws into himself, while poisoning the lives of family members. Everyone avoids him. Indifference kills all feelings; in terms of the power of its harmful effects, it significantly exceeds betrayal, resentment and lies. I had to see with my own eyes the growth of indifference in the example of the son of one acquaintance. The family was dysfunctional: the mother hated the father, and she poured out her hatred and disappointment with life on the children. The mother's harshness and callousness were selective - the son was sick, so everything went to the girl. To cultivate indifference, you need to have a certain “pedagogical skill.”

The first thing Makarenko did as a woman was to wean her son from taking care of someone. Everyone in the house walked on tiptoe so as not to disturb the patient. Selfishness and terrible utter laziness began to grow in the boy. He was no longer sick, but the habit of lying on the couch all day and being completely uninterested in anything remained. By the time he reached adulthood, he stood two meters tall, a fathom at the shoulders, and could kill a bull with his head. If we impartially describe his manifested qualities: they are laziness, gross selfishness, deceit, hypocrisy, cynicism, irresponsibility and ignorance.

The toxic cocktail of personality traits was already alarming with its persistent lack of interest in most areas of life. But what was most troubling was not the ability to love someone or something. Having married for convenience, ten years later he abandoned his family, leaving two children. He never thought about them again. Alimony did not pay a single ruble. He returned to his parents and has been lying on the couch for fifteen years. No feelings, no love, complete paralysis of the soul - indifference. Indifference takes a person into the looking glass of life. When he ceases to be interested in his own life, this is the logical end of the cultivation of indifference. But this is by no means indifference. There is a yawning chasm of fundamental differences between indifference and indifference. Indifference is:

1. selective lack of interest in someone or something at a given moment;
2. setting the mind to eliminate the excessive importance of someone or something. A person may be indifferent to himself, for example, after a strong shock. The nervous system “presses on the brakes” in order to restore wasted energy. In other cases, a person has a certain interest in something or someone. Only the corpse is not interested. So, a wife may be indifferent to football, but love figure skating. She can be indifferent to aquarium fish and, at the same time, adore her dog. In other words, indifference, unlike indifference, gets along quite well with selective love and interest in someone or something. Indifference does not attach special importance to someone or something, does not highlight any objects of the external world with a bold line on the scale of importance . It makes no difference to her where to sing - in the Kremlin Palace or in front of ordinary peasants, where to perform - at the Olympic Games or at the championship of the Harvest society. Regardless of faces, that is, indifferently, she will everywhere express her point of view in the same way.

Indifference, unlike sterile and detached indifference, does not deny love and interest. Indifference paralyzes the soul. Indifference operates with the category not of the soul, but of the mind. For example, a person is partial to nicotine, but his mind forbids him to reach for a pack of cigarettes. If the mind is strong, a person will push his soul aside and will be indifferent to smoking. Often, the reason for indifference lies in the person’s desire to protect himself from the negative emotions that befall him. Thus, in the niche of indifference it is convenient to protect yourself from the grumpiness of your boss or wife. When a stream of reproaches pours out on him every day, he, wanting to “survive,” often unconsciously plays the role of indifference. The only trouble is that over time this role becomes his natural internal incurable state.

In A.P. Chekhov’s story “Tosca,” human indifference is brilliantly depicted. Cab driver Iona Potapov's only son died. To overcome melancholy and an acute feeling of loneliness, he wants to tell someone about his misfortune, but no one wants to listen to him, no one cares about him. “He gets dressed and goes to the stable where his horse is. He thinks about oats, hay, the weather... He can’t think about his son when he’s alone... You can talk to someone about him, but it’s unbearably creepy to think about him and draw his image for yourself...

Are you chewing? - Jonah asks his horse, seeing its sparkling eyes. - Well, chew, chew... If we didn’t go to the oats, we’ll eat hay... Yes... I’m getting old now... My son should be driving, not me... He was a real cab driver... If only he could live... Jonah is silent for a while and continues:
- So, brother filly... Kuzma Ionych is gone... He ordered him to live long... He took it and died in vain... Now, let’s say, you have a foal, and you are this foal’s own mother... And suddenly, let’s say, this same foal ordered him to live long... It’s a pity ? The little horse chews, listens and breathes into the hands of its owner... Jonah gets carried away and tells her everything..."

It's easy to hide hatred; love is difficult to hide; The hardest thing is to hide indifference.
Ludwig Berne
I am always very friendly towards those who are indifferent to me. Oscar Wilde
Let's face it: only those who have completely killed some aspects of their soul live happily in the world. Sebastien Chamfort
If nothing can touch your heartstrings, it means you died a long time ago. Absalom Underwater
We filled the cities with light, but lost the stars. They laid out kilometers of wires, but forgot how to extend a hand. They taught their voice to travel thousands of miles along them, but they forgot how to see the eyes of loved ones. Megacities reek of rotting freedom, decomposing into thousands of roads to nowhere... Roman Podzorov
Indifference is a disease. And I regret that this diagnosis is not made in medicine. In a life full of smells, colors and music, before which our coarsened strings are sometimes powerless. Remaining blind, deaf and dumb is a much worse disease than living in a fantasy world. Vyacheslav Prah
Don't be afraid of enemies - in the worst case they can kill you. Don't be afraid of your friends - in the worst case, they can betray you. Be afraid of the indifferent - they do not kill or betray, but only with their tacit consent does betrayal and murder exist on earth . Richard Eberhard
Politeness is well-organized indifference. Paul Valéry
A woman is tormented not by a man’s tyranny, but by his indifference. Jules Michelet
The other side of love is not hatred, but indifference. Makishima Shogo
I don’t remember the first time she went for a walk without me, but I remember my feelings about this - I let her go without much excitement, discarding the sluggish thought that we should go together. It’s not that I began to be burdened by her company - I just gradually began to treat her the same way she treated me from the very beginning - like a stool, a cactus on the windowsill or a round cloud outside the window. Victor Pelevin.
He hung up. So here it is, the moment, the anticipation of which for twelve long months filled every free minute of his... He imagined how he would find her married, or engaged, or in love with another - he did not imagine one thing: that his return would be indifferent to her. Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Theodore Roosevelt
Why ask a person how they are when you don’t care about the answer? Jodi Picoult.
What is harder in marriage: unrequited love or unrequited indifference? Jadwiga Rutkowska
Desires are half of life; indifference is half death. Kahlil Gibran
Saying “I don’t care” is not as convincing as smiling and saying nothing in response. Dasha Barto
Manners of gestures, speech and behavior are often the result of idleness or indifference; a great feeling and a serious matter return a person to his natural appearance. Jean de La Bruyère
Friends left me, women came and went - I felt it almost the same way as a person sitting in a room feels the rain drumming on the window. There was some kind of glass barrier between me and the world around me, and I didn’t have the courage to break it with an effort of will. Stefan Zweig.
The greatest sin against one's neighbor is not hatred, but indifference. This is the most inhuman of all human feelings. George Bernard Shaw
It is easier to break through a wall with your forehead than into emptiness. Arkady Davidovich

Poverty is nothing more than the result of our laziness or indifference. Napoleon Hill
I can be indifferent to everything. Indifferent - but not equally. Charles Lamb
People are so afraid, so worried that the objects of their adoration for them will cool down. In fact, one should be afraid that they themselves will cool down much earlier. Tomi Gretzvelg
It's easier. It’s like a child’s game: you close your eyes and you’re in the house, nothing touches you. But if everyone constantly turns a blind eye to their loved ones, will the world go blind?.. Natalia Svetlova
The indifference of the tone has a much greater effect on the interlocutor than superiority, hissing or evil laughter. Alexey Efimov.
The “In Contact” wall has become something of an embryo of a new kind of life. I asked myself several times why I was writing, then I shrugged my shoulders and ignored all the idiotic questions. Yes, simply because the Internet has already become another vital organ or sixth sense: hearing, taste, network. The epistolary genre of the 21st century: write the words, no one will understand or hear you, but someone will find themselves and joyfully lick them. Alexander Noitov
This is all nonsense: smoking does not kill. This is what kills - when your feelings run into the concrete “clear”. Breezin Corps.
We don't need each other anymore. Even when we're close in love, you look where I can't go unless I walk backwards, and I go where you can't look unless I look backwards. Milorad Pavic.
Many bad people, those whom we consider bad, become bad because of our kind indifference. Aishek Noram
Sometimes a man tries to ignite passion in a woman who is completely indifferent to him. The question is, isn’t it easier to pay attention to the one who loves him than to waste time on the one who is indifferent to him? Jean de La Bruyère
Ah, all these parties... You do your hair, put on a dress, and no one cares about your true essence. Dylan Moran
There is no more dangerous person than a person who is alien to humanity, who is indifferent to the fate of his native country, to the fate of his neighbor. Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin

Do not be indifferent, for indifference is deadly to the human soul. Maksim Gorky
Time does not heal. It leads to indifference. It kills everything we loved so much.
Janusz Leon Wisniewski.
The big vice is indifference, dispassion. A little man with a piece of ice in his heart is a future commoner. Already in childhood, it is necessary to ignite in the heart of every person a spark of civic passion and intransigence towards what is evil or condones evil. Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky
The most terrible cross is the one we put on ourselves. Yuri Zarozhny
Love and work tend to make a person completely indifferent to other things. Honore de Balzac

Eternal scene! The servants of violence, their victim, and next to them - always and at all times - a third - the spectator, the one who is not able to lift a finger to protect, to free the victim, because he is afraid for his own skin. And maybe that's why his own skin is always in danger. Erich Maria Remarque
When too much despair and grief accumulates in a person’s soul, they either lead to madness and suicide, or they dull themselves - with their own strength and infinity, so that the person finally somehow becomes stiff and reaches absolute indifference to everything in the world and first of all to his own person: “There is nothing more to wait for, there is nothing to hope for. Whatever happens, I don’t care! Torture is torture, death is death!” And such a state, predominantly, is the result of the greatest anger at fate and people, the result of wasted struggle and energy. Vsevolod Krestovsky.
People who are indifferent to everything go into hibernation. Emmanuel Mounier
Some will hate you, some will love you, but most people don't give a damn about who you are, what you live for, or what ideas you're passionate about. Tom Hardy
I painfully feel that we have nothing more to say to each other. Just yesterday I wanted to bombard her with questions: where did she go, what did she do, who did she meet? But this interested me only insofar as Annie was able to devote herself to it with all her soul. And now I don't care; the countries, the cities that Annie saw, the men who courted her and whom, perhaps, she loved - all this did not captivate her, deep down she remained completely indifferent: fleeting reflections of sunshine on the surface of a dark, cold sea. Annie is sitting in front of me, we haven’t seen each other for four years, and we have nothing more to say to each other. Jean-Paul Sartre.
Indifference is the ideal of the obsessed. Emil Michel Cioran
What bothers me most is the blindness of people. Thank God, there are not such a large number of people who are completely blind to the disgusting, vile things happening in this world. But there is blindness and farce in everything - in politics, in the names of programs, in stores, falsehood in pathos, hypocrisy, sanctimonious pseudo-puritan laws that are adopted in our country. It’s impossible not to see all this. I am amazed at the blindness of people. Gleb Samoilov
Only indifference can become the only reproach, under the silence of which the soul leaves the stage, throwing weak wings onto the warm wooden flooring, which just a moment ago belonged to it. Al Quotion.
This has its own thrill: they say, look, I’m not like you, and I don’t care what you think. Chuck Palahniuk.
If a kingdom rots, everything helps it rot. Let the majority simply connive - what, consider them not involved? I will consider an indifferent person to be a murderer who, seeing a child drowning in a puddle, does not try to save him . Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
Sometimes you don't understand the simplest things, he thought; two people in the same room; one is mortally ill, and the other is completely indifferent to this. Erich Maria Remarque
Under the shell of indifference you can always find an ugly, deep, unhealed wound. Henry Miller
We live in a world where callousness and indifference are increasingly becoming the norm of human relations, and our souls, like a shell, are covered with scabs of dried suffering and resentment. Robert James Waller.
Look, there's a cat. The cat doesn't care at all whether the Memory society exists. Or the department of ideology under the Central Committee. Also, however, he is indifferent to the President of the United States, his presence or absence. How am I worse than this cat? Joseph Alexandrovich Brodsky
My world is a small island of pain floating in an ocean of indifference. Sigmund Freud
