Overcoming Apathy
Undeceptions with John Dickson
The Importance of Apathy
Apothea is to be without passion, free from strong emotion. In this sense, apothea was one of the key ethical goals of the ancient Stoic philosophers. To fly into a passion is not a sign of manliness, but rather to be kind and gentle. Just as grief is a mark of weakness, so is anger too - for those who yield to either have been wounded and have surrendered to the enemy. The nearer a man comes in his mind to freedom from unhealthy passions, Apothea, the nearer he comes to strength.
