Embers

 If you are indifferent about the suffering of the world or your own demise into misery, take heart.  All is not lost.  Indifference is better than not caring at all.  Indifference has the embers of caring that can be relit at some time down the road, near or far.  There is caring but doing nothing positive about the situation.  This rubs close to indifference.  There is hope for change.  Not caring, you make no attempt.  Indifference, you make some attempt now and again.  Addicts who want to get sober but don't do much are indifferent.  Attempts are made here and there, but then indifference takes over.  "Maybe next time," or "Maybe I will do something about this or that in the future."  People who are indifferent about God or spirituality actually have a spark of interest, or maybe embers of interest.  Don't give up hope for them.  If you are a grandparent who bemoans your kids or grandkids not going to church, maybe they are indifferent as oppose to not caring?
