Foreworld

In a place of eternal infamy...
He was finally free, but there was no joy in his heart
He thought there never would be again

So much violence; so much indifference

What is indifference?
Etymologically, the word means "no difference"
strange and unnatural state in which the lines blur between light and darkness, dusk and dawn, crime and punishment, cruelty and compassion, good and evil
What are its courses and inescapable consequences?
Is it a philosophy?
Is there a philosophy of indifference conceivable?
Can one possibly view indifference as a virtue?
Is it necessary at times to practice it simply to keep one's sanity, live normally...

And I thank all of you for being here
