Experience is knowledge; but knowledge, when it is sought only as a material resource, is not always a blessing. Experience is wisdom; but wisdom, with those who lack vision, is not always power. Experience is tolerance; but tolerance, when it is induced by apathy, is not in the least a virtue.

Use 'apathy' when someone doesn't care enough to respond or take interest in something.

Not Caring

'Apathy' suggests a neutral emotion, rather than a strong feeling like hate or disgust.

Emotionally Neutral

Don’t confuse 'apathy' with 'sympathy' or 'empathy'; it means the lack of feeling, not sharing it.

Common Misuse

'Apathy' in a medical sense can indicate a serious emotional or neurological condition.

Medical Condition

In medicine, note if 'apathy' represents a change from the patient’s usual behavior.

Observing Change

'Apathy' can often alert to possible mental health issues, such as depression or other mood disorders.

Psychological Symptom

People sometimes wrongly interpret apathy as rudeness or arrogance, when it may be a psychological issue.
