Intro

This is simply to give you an idea of what's going down here. I have nothing in mind. I have no expectations. But I do have a streaming consciousness capable of constant analytical assessment, and I plan to abuse that here. Generally, I'll be blogging about whatever is going on in my head once a week or so, whenever I think of something worth it.

As for now I'm sure you're wondering what the title means. Mystery of Apathy. Well if you don't know, you're probably apathetic, which is fine, you're in good company (not really). Basically it means the state of indifference, which can extend to a few different meanings. According to Wikipedia (which, regardless of all criticism in society, is the only real way to get spot-on information easily) "an apathetic individual has an absence of interest or concern to emotional, social, or physical life". This occurs when a low level of challenge is matched with a low level of skill. I'll delve into this no-man-zone later. The opposite of apathy is flow, which is when a high level of skill and challenge are matched. There are many other challenge-skill relations that will probably be brought up in the future.

So the ultimate rationale behind the blog is to assess the relationship between flow and apathy, bridge them together, and cross over: a path of self-betterment, if you will. Naturally an easy solution would be to increase the level of challenge, however, the apathetic often carry an air of reluctance with them. I, for example, am reluctant to embark on long, daunting tasks or those that involve a combination of physical labor and precise finesse. Everyone has things they are less comfortable with, but only those individuals with true 'flow' strive to better themselves into a versatile individual.

That's all for now, so I'll end with a synopsis of my writing style. Random, I know. But it serves as a warning. I'm rather unpredictable, so my writing style almost moves with the wind... At times my language will be very crude, and at others it will seem as if I could not have crafted a better sentence to express myself. Things might get graphic, things might get intense, but at least now you have a disclaimer.
