Quote by Edmund Burke

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the destructive power of indifference towards religion. It suggests that when individuals become indifferent or apathetic towards matters of faith, religion itself suffers a severe blow. Religion is dependent on believers who actively engage with their beliefs, values, and practices. When people display indifference towards religion, it can lead to the erosion of religious communities, weakened devotion, and a decline in religious institutions. Indifference denies religion the emotional and intellectual commitment it requires to thrive and ultimately hampers its vitality and significance.

Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers, there are important personality profits to be taken. Defeat strips away false values and makes you realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.
