"What is indifference? Etymologically, the word means "no difference." A strange and unnatural state in which the lines blur between light and darkness, dusk and dawn, crime and punishment, cruelty and compassion, good and evil.
Of course, indifference can be tempting -- more than that, seductive. It is so much easier to look away from victims. It is so much easier to avoid such rude interruptions to our work, our dreams, our hopes. It is, after all, awkward, troublesome, to be involved in another person's pain and despair. Yet, for the person who is indifferent, his or her neighbor are of no consequence. And, therefore, their lives are meaningless. Their hidden or even visible anguish is of no interest. Indifference reduces the other to an abstraction"
Well I think that he has to deal with a lot, and so he asks "What is indifference?" I thin k this is a really good question, Because he ca;t forget that, he had to built a life with knowing wahtt happened. It is one thing to know it and another to live it, I don't think you can't build a good structure like that. What he lived had to have a big Impact on him.
He quoutes "It is afther all, awkward, troublesome, to be involved in anothers person's despair.Yet, for the person who is indifferent, his or her neighbor are of no consequence."
I think here he means, that is mineanigles how people don't perceive other people.
