 |   A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| In Praise of Apathy Not that I would recommend apathy as a way of life, but there are times when it would be a welcome addition to those furious arguments conducted by those who care passionately. Most fights of this type never produce anything of lasting value and a good dose of apathy would be just the thing to calm everything down to the point where a result might be achieved. And then all there is the variety of matters we could be interested in. How busy would we be if such obsessions were to multiply to the extent of commanding all our time? If you ask me (and I know you haven’t), we could all benefit from a helping of apathy on some subjects, at least. Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. Word count: 123 |
