Kind of true. But you need a target for it. And other emotions can be used for motivations.

Apathy is a disease.

Hate's overrated and self destructive unless you channel it outwards at something. You can't maintain that forever before it eventually spills out into other parts of your life and circles back right around at you.

Taking the circumstance it's encountered in, apathy is either a branch-off of laziness, a self defense mechanism, or just a simple reaction to what really doesn't interest a person. But in a lot of cases, apathy backfires on people as well.

Can't speak for others but it's probably generally a better idea if you don't gain your productivity or focus because of tying yourself to a ball and chain that has roots to an emotional state.

I agree. I would rather feel something other than the vacancy inside my heart, no matter the detriment.

get this hippie outta here

Being too caring is like walking in a minefield.

I would mess up his face, but his genes did it for me.

Sure, you're more focused with hate, but that thought is often not spent on where you might be wrong. It's usually spent defensively justifying your own judgements and actions while condemning others.  It makes you stubborn, sheltered, and arrogant.

It might not always be the case, but while a hateful person might be a bit more thoughtful, they'll likely have reinforced a good amount of their own delusions.

How childish. You don't get to be the arbiter of my choices and thoughts.

How defensive.  My point is that it leaves people prone to being self-destructive, not that I personally have the authority to judge your reactions and tell you when that happens.

Again, you use uncertain words like "prone". Why don't you leave me alone with your wisdoms and presumptions about the world?

I prefer to be despised/hated than to be ignored and forgotten.

So you're that desperate for acknowledgement of your existence?

Verbatim and Dio likes the reply, so that means they're also desperate for others' attention. You heard it here first, folks.

Given that I'm the only one in the universe who knows anything, of course I'm desperate for attention.

That doesn't justify anything.

Not desperate, but I don't want to become like Ozymandias. It's something innate in humans generally to want to be immortal, be it literally, genetically or ideologically. Verbatim would say that at least one of these is evil and the other two inconsequential. Also because apathy is a disease.

Genetically and literally are both the same thing. Ideological immortality is for those who are unsure of themselves.

To be able to do anything that you want -- to be powerful, is a good goal to have.
