13 Damned Categories… #1: Apathy

I parsed my tag-like categories into into 13 broad topics that I can capture and steer the vast majority of my writings… and I see can see from a high-level that the topics upon which I have chosen to focus have grave implications for the redemption of my soul… (or may just say that I am a little “half glass empty”).

I could add some more, but I like the symbolic nature of constraining myself to thirteen… These thirteen are the unlucky few topics chosen to represent my thoughts, dreams and greatest fears (or perhaps just the semi-coherent postings I can motivate myself to create).

I may as well focus on why I have chosen these topics for a few posts. It may spur some great ideas, or at least give me some direction… I will begin alphabetically (and even hotlink the best picture I can find to depict the category–an aside, it is nigh impossible to find a picture of a person in a bed, with their covers over their head, in the fetal position [surprisingly]):

  1. Apathy: Defined as “an absence of emotion or enthusiasm.

Alphabetically, apathy is the first of the Thirteen Damned Categories; yes, this is the name of their grouping in unison in this ‘blog. I think I may license the name of this groupingunder a Creative Commons License, as I have recently learned nobody will really respect that license anyways

I find that often, my writings are tainted with the flavor of defeat. Apathy is an apt description for a posting that I care about far too much, but it is outside of my control. Perhaps apathy is actually used as a defensive mechanism for myself; allowing me the merest shred of psychological armor for my thoughts lain bare…

Then again, it may just be about things that I care little or am fantastically unenthused, but that is far less exciting or existentially meaningful. I find that I oft drift to holding a philosophical view of the world somewhat nihilistic in taste that is grey and suffocating; where the world is lifeless and devoid of meaning. If I were to post something that feels this way, I think that it would be a shoe-in for a categorization of “Apathy…”
