The Importance of Apathy
In the discussion of apathy, there are really two extremes to avoid. At one extreme, there's the denial of the goodness of emotion,. So that we quash both anguish and bliss. The opposite path tells me I'm principally an emotional, psychological, soul-ish being. This is very far from the picture of the Christian life as we have it in the New Testament. Unlike the Buddha, or say the God of Einstein, the Bible's God is not pure rationality. There is anger there, there's joy, displeasure, and love in the heart of God.
