Apathetic, pfft.

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

So I just discovered that I am feeling more and more apathetic to issues that I think I should care more about. For example, it started with my dismissal of the HRC's consumer guide that apparently rates companies on a scale from 0-100% on their support of LGBTQ issues. I had a problem with it because I had no way of knowing how the HRC rated each company, there was no criteria. Just a bunch of numbers and that should be enough to sway me away from X company for Y company. And it didn't help that the sponsors also got high ratings.

Then it also hit me today when I received a Facebook message from a campus Vietnamese association or something about a movie coming out. And before I even opened the message I just thought to myself, "Not another movie about the Vietnam War." When I actually did read the message, I even got more apathetic. Its called something like "After the Fall" or something. And the description was "A new movie filmed from a truly Vietnamese perspective something-something." Okay, great. Another movie about the same thing, but this time its more authentic because its made by a Vietnamese student.

And I'm kind of afraid of this looming cloud of apathy because of my position. Aside from my officer post for a LGBTQ club and everything, I feel as if I should care since no one else does. But I just can't bring myself to care.

Or maybe its not apathy but more "pissed off". Like I feel like arguing. That could be it too. It could be from my mother. She argues well.

    i hear you. went through the same thing last year where i just stopped caring. i thought i was just apathetic, but in retrospect, i was just picking and choosing my own battles. and at that time, i didn't see one that i want to be in.
