I love what you've said.  Our ego's rapidly become attached to emotion because we use our minds to symbolize things.  (I think).

The more often I quit trying to hold onto or symbolize emotions (the pleasant and less pleasant) the more I honor my feelings.  AND… the less I am attached to how it reflects on me or how I identify with who I am based on those emotions.

In terms of the external push to hate other people or the selfishness that can often times create it's own apathy… I think that is a mindful path.  It requires a commitment to practise caring or to practise checking in with oneself.

What do you think?
