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

Observing Change

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

Psychological Symptom
