Summary

This quote emphasizes the destructive power of indifference. It suggests that despair, though a formidable enemy, is still surpassed by the harmful effects of apathy and disinterest. In the context of human creativity, indifference is portrayed as the ultimate enemy, as it prevents growth, progress, and meaningful contributions to society. Furthermore, the quote suggests that indifference towards evil is even more insidious than the existence of evil itself, as it not only allows wrongdoing to persist but also hinders any possibility of change and improvement.
