Find a word related to A P A T H Y

7

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym related to the word – A P A T H Y (verbo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Example:

Apathy breeds contempt and not reconciliation

La apatía engendra desprecio y no la reconciliación.

This happens because of our apathy. It is not pre-ordained by a higher power - it is our fault.

Esto sucede a causa de nuestra apatía. No está pre-ordenado por un poder superior - la culpa es nuestra

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas.

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me.

This was the previous challenge.

First they came for the socialists, and, apathetically, I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and, apathetically, I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and, apathetically, I did not speak out, Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me... And there was no one left to speak for me.

Al principio, vinieron a buscar a los socialistas, y con apatía no dije nada en contra de esto, porque yo no era socialista. Pues, vinieron a buscar a los sindicalistas, y con apatía no dije nada en contra de esto, porque yo no era sindicalista. Pues, vinieron a buscar a los judios, y con apatía no dije nada en contra de esto, porque yo no era judio. Pues, vinieron a buscarme... Y no habia nadie que podia hablar por yo.

It is an excellent example of the apathy, but the word itself is missing - porcupine7, Dec 17, 2014

Si su obra está protegida por falta de interés debe ser una cosa muy aburrida.

If his work is protected by the lack of interest should be a very boring thing.

Disinterested and uninterested are not the same. I am very interested in the welfare of my clients, but I always try & give them disinterested advice.

Estar desinteresado no es el mismo que no tener un interés. Tengo gran interés por el bienestar de mis clientes, pero intento darlos consejos que son desinteresados.

Porque el dinero es más importante que los árboles de los simios son

una especie en peligro de extinción. La apatía y la codicia son sinónimos.

Because money is more important than the trees ,apes are an

endangered species. Apathy and greed are synonymous.


These are my own images of our disenfranchised cousins taken in Borneo.

disregard - pasar por alto

We obviously cannot disregard the current situation.

Es evidente que no podemos pasar por alto esta situación.

Governmental indifference to the suffering of our most vulnerable citizens is appalling.

La indiferencia del Gobierno ante el sufrimiento de nuestros ciudadanos más vulnerables es atroz.

Aquellos que son conscientes de los elementos naturales nunca caen en el profundo sueño de la imprudencia. Siempre tienen un interés en buena planificación y organización, las radios, los rangers, y cualquier cosa que pueda ayudarles a divertirán.

Those who are aware of the natural elements never fall into the heavy sleep of heedlessness. They always have an interest in good planning and organization, radios, rangers, and anything that can help them enjoy themselves.
