"Affliction of Apathy"
The most
disgusting thing is to see a life wasted -- a person working on something with
such dispassionate style. When I see such people I want to despair. Conversely,
people with a good sense of their purpose just radiate life in all they do.
They are fires that cannot help but burn all that is in sight. Society seems to
hold passion as a virtue essential for reaching "success." But
culture preaches that a good life consists of being lazy and enjoying things
like social media and Netflix. The mixed messages seem to have produced a
generation that is able to do much but is willing to do little. So many people
I've met simply don't care about things that will not give them any immediate
reward. I've found it so easy to believe this, too. However, caring only about
things that effect me is the loneliest and most disparaging worldview of them
all. I always miss the good parts of life. Apathy is poison that kills purpose.
It takes a strong heart to take the risk of being compassionate and spread the
goodness of love in a world that is aching for it.
"Affliction of Apathy" was made in response to this. The yellow frame around the baby-faced teens is hinting to the iconic National Geographic frame, by the way. I haven't liked collages much in the past, but I'm warming up to them. I'm pretty pleased with this one, maybe even more now, three months later.
