Ironically, one of the most profound deep-dives into philosophical topics I've ever enjoyed was in a videogame, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. It takes us on a sixty-ish hour journey through the philosophies of that universe glanced at through lenses of both existentialism and nihilism and explores those philosophies at great depth. Surprising, isn't it, that a video-game from fifteen years ago was so deep?

Anyway, what I was gonna bring up is that an oft-cited line from the main character's mentor in that game, is one that sticks with me and is a valuable line outside any of the contexts I've just given you. That line is:
"Apathy is death."

I agree with that line, and what it means. Apathy is death. Yeah. It rings so true in so many ways. Apathy really is the death of all soul, both creative and moral conscience, and our humanity in some ways too.

Apathy is death. Such an amazingly profound line, from a video-game of all places.

That's really interesting but I know what you mean about profound stuff from unlikely places. My favourite ever lyric is from a song called 'cold' by Annie Lennox, it says "dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death" ... I think it says so much about how hard life can be, sometimes death feels like the easy option ... but I'd rather wade my way through the hard bits for those special highlights that come along once in a while. :-) x
