"Indifference is worse than hate"

Hate. To feel intense or passionate dislike for some. "If he went to the right, I would go after him," said by Elie Wiesel. He cared for his father, and was once afraid of the future to come. In one day, he experienced that really there was no hope. He saw what happened to people just because, and witnessed many deaths and tragedies in families...and in his own. Him and his father were separated from his mother and sisters and will never see them again. "Working is liberty," well not really. In this case it was...work or die. Choose one...and pick wisely. People died on the spot, or worked until they no longer could. Apparently don't ask questions...that's what Elie's father did, but to only be smacked so hard across the face he fell to the ground. Elie watched this happen, and he once felt this horrid hate towards the criminals...and now felt nothing. In one NIGHT he had changed. When watching this he felt sick, only because he didn't feel any presence of anger, but more of nothing. The future looked dim, and dark, and soon to be ending. "Indifference is worse than hate" Its better to feel something than nothing at all...

  1. Interesting. So it's better to feel pain than to feel nothing? Remember this when you run.
