A subtle reason for apathy is that justice rarely has much to do with our lives. Unless we've personally been victims of injustice, we can take for granted that life is generally fair.

"Our lives are bound up with the lives of others. Our joy is bound up with the joy of others."

Ken Wytsma

"Apathy is sustainable only as long as injustice doesn't harm us--and we don't care that it's harming others. Apathy lasts only until injustice knocks on our door, and we're forced to look into its eyes."

Ken Wytsma
