Apathy. That’s the real problem the 21st century faces.
War is not the problem. The problem is not caring enough about peace.
The West is not the problem; neither is the Middle East. The problem is being indifferent to each other’s concerns.
Politicians aren’t the problem. The problem is not caring enough to vote.
Terrorism is not the problem. The problem is being indifferent to another person’s right to live.
Censorship, government watchdogs and nanny states are not the problem. The problem is being too apathetic to protest.
Racism isn’t the problem. The problem is not caring about another person’s right to have an identity different to your own.
The media isn’t the problem. The problem is not caring enough about the “real” reality and preferring to live life, second hand, viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses.
Illiteracy is not the problem. The problem is being indifferent to one’s own ignorance.
Religion is not the problem. The problem is being apathetic to another person’s faith, or lack thereof.
“They” are not the problem. The problem is You and Me not caring enough, not caring at all.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the diner.

Nice post. It's true, we just don't care anymore. It's like we are all desensitised and too narcissistic...
Thanks Psych :)
