The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that’s the essence of inhumanity. — George Bernard Shaw

From the Antiochian Orthodox tradition, St. Thalassios gave us a definition of indifference: "Listlessness is an apathy of soul; and a soul becomes apathetic when sick with self indulgence.”

St. John of the Ladder viewed indifference as "insensitivity." He wrote: "Insensitivity is deadened feeling in body and spirit and comes from long sickness and carelessness. Lack of awareness is negligence that has become habit. It is thought gone numb...."

I want a principle within of jealous, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel of pride or fond desire,
To catch the wandering of my will, and quench the kindling fire.

From Thee that I no more may stray, no more Thy goodness grieve, The filial awe, the fleshly heart, the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make; Awake my soul when sin is nigh, and keep it still awake.

If to the right or left I stray, that moment, Lord, reprove;
And let me weep my life away, for having grieved thy love.
O may the least omission pain my well instructed soul,
And drive me to the blood again, which makes the wounded whole.
