Apathy is behavior that shows no interest or energy, and shows that someone is unwilling to take action, especially over something important (Cambridge Dictionary).

There is so much happening in the world right now that we have to contend with, and fears of the future outcomes seem to paralyze us in our actions. I am asking each of you out there to reach out and pull someone out of the rabbit hole. Listen for a few minutes to them and help raise their energy levels to new highs. Take a walk with them and discuss things that make each of you happy from day to day. If something they say triggers something in you and makes you angry or believe that all is lost, literally, skip through that thought. Skip this new given path with them and internalize that it’s not them, it’s something from your past. Forgive what can be forgiven and your past hurts will at least float away in that moment. Stretch mentally and physically and stay in that moment with them. Know that thoughts may still surface about something that bothers you but try to let it go when you are with another person. We can survive all the world’s ills if we just reach out to one person each day and make a connection. Smile and laugh with them. Get them to tell you funny stories about their lives. Tell them some fun facts that you just learned!

Apathy has been described as an absence of feeling or emotion. This indifference can affect your motivation and leave you feeling detached from the world. We can’t stop caring about everyday tasks, hobbies, and personal interests. We can’t detach from our loved ones and slide down the rabbit hole. I am asking you to take heart and reach out to others. We can all get some help when we are faced with depressing thoughts. And make an effort to forgive those past hurts and encourage your new buddy to do the same.

We are interdependent of each other in this great big world, and we have to reach across all barriers to create change. While I don’t agree with everything he says, Dr. Michael Laitman, PhD in Philosophy, and a MSc in Medical Bio-Cybernetics, had some insightful thoughts on his website. He stated: “Humanity lives in a single integral system where everybody is globally interdependent. Being interdependent means that every person’s slightest action influences the entire network of humanity and nature. Therefore, caring for the world means caring for myself, since I affect everyone, and everyone affects me….the more our egoistic desires (self-interest at the expense of others) grow, the more imbalance and harm we afflict upon the system….That’s why we need to care for the world.” The integral system can be applied personally, locally, and worldwide.

And if we have such a beautiful place to be (Colorado), get outside as often as possible. Sometimes it’s really cold, but a few minutes outside will enliven us. “Personal contact with nature, especially at an early age, can strengthen an individual’s emotional affinity to it, facilitating their motivation to adopt pro-nature behaviors,” says ecologist Masashi Soga, the study’s lead author and an associate professor at the University of Tokyo. We learn to care about nature and saving the planet as we walk the path every day. For more information on this subject see:

Every day I strive for harmony and ways to calm my overactive brain. This year, I am sending out love to everyone as well as letters to senators and representatives when I have a concern. Handwritten or typed letters get through to these folks, (NOT emails). And if you have questions on what’s happening, you should be able to voice them, not with hate and despair, but with well thought-out and logical questions and concerns. Your voices will create change. You just have to make some noise in a positive and logical way, not in a hatemongering way.

I leave you tonight with two thoughts:
“Likewise, if we successfully organize ourselves to positively connect above our divisive egos, we will experience new elated sensations of harmony and perfection due to our balance with nature.”—Dr. Michael Laitman

And, I want to repeat a quote I had on yesterday’s blog:
“There will always be men who think and dream and sing and carry on all the race has ever loved. The future belongs to them.”—Poul Anderson

We will get through all that is to come in 2025 one day and one person at a time. Our human beingness demands it.
