Not giving a shit isn’t inherently wrong. Can’t be because nobody has enough inner resources to give a shit about everything. I don’t give a shit about large swathes of the human population by dint of my give-a-shitter being defective from the beginning and having worn down significantly over the years.
Like, I don’t want bad to happen to anyone lest it be being hoist by their own petard. You know, fuck around and find out. I have enough shadenfreude in me to appreciate someone fucking their own shit up by being an asshole.
But even “innocent” people getting wiped out by floods or whatever, I just don’t have the fucking spoons.
So, even the best cop in the world, 1000% what a cop should be instead of what most of them are, it just ain’t a big deal. Soldiers, or any other job where there’s danger inherent to it as well. That actually goes for my fellow medical folks too tbh. There’s some things where the assumption of risk is there, and when the risk eventually happens, it sucks, but I lack the energy to be upset when there’s just so much fuckery in the world that people don’t agree to.
Unless there’s malice involved in why you don’t give a shit, who cares? Hell, even if there is malice, as long as you don’t try to make it happen, who cares?
Empathy is not an infinite well. How it gets spent is only partially voluntary. So if there’s some segment of the world that just isn’t on your concern list, it’s fine
Wrong, no, absolutely not.
