Ruminations on Apathy

You know what is worse than hate, pain, anger, all the vile emotions of man?

Apathy.

For, if love is Heaven

and pain is Hell

apathy is Limbo

And I fear Heaven in a positive and healthy way

I fear Hell in a resentful and healthy way

But I fear Limbo most of all

I fear The Heavens for their majesty, unbeknownst to man

I fear Hell for the agony, unending

But I fear Limbo for the complete lack of anything

The complete and overwhelming nothingness

No feelings, no light, no anything

Just endless, unrelenting void.
