The paradox of apathy

Usually you would think that by being apathetic to someone or something, you are distancing yourself from whatever problems might be associated with that person or situation. 

Yet in fact, by being apathetic to it, what actually happens is all those problems grow and often end up biting us in the butt.

Why is this the case? Whether we recognize it or not, we are all intrinsically connected in a web of relationships that are undeniable and absolute. Of course some relationships, like family, are innately more significant than others, but nevertheless they all form a vast web that makes up our humanity. 

To exhibit apathy because you dislike something is to deny this fundamental truth of life, and naturally the problem you were trying to avoid will only get bigger and eventually face you head on once again.
