To Be Rendered Invisible.

We have been taught to fear the knife.
We have been taught that the greatest wound is the one inflicted by a hand we trusted. The betrayal. The broken promise...

Betrayal is horrible, yes. It is a scream, it is fire, it is a ruin. But look closely.
Betrayal still recognizes the existence of the other person...

It is a twisted acknowledgment that you matter enough to be destroyed...

But The true monster, sitting quietly in the corner, is not betrayal.
It is Indifference...

Indifference is not a broken connection. Indifference is the death of the connection entirely.
It is dead on arrival. It is a total, cold, silent withdrawal of emotion.
It says, without saying a word, that you are invisible. Irrelevant...

When you are betrayed, you are remembered with anger.
When you are met with indifference, you are forgotten...

Indifference is more devastating than active hostility, for hostility can be fought...

You can defend yourself against an enemy. But how do you fight against a closed door?

How do you argue against a silence that doesn't know you're screaming?.

Indifference, is in it purest form, the erasure of humanity. It turns the living into ghosts...

The opposite of love, the opposite of caring… is not hate.
It is Indifference...

To be hated
is to be felt.
To be betrayed
is to be remembered.
But to be met with indifference…
is to be rendered invisible...

Hate still burns.
Hate still reaches.
Hate still engages...

But indifference…
does not even try...

Indifference
is not just absence of love
it is the absence
of humanity itself...
Carl Nicolas.
