There's nothing bad or good to things or words
Words people use to describe others are merely situations.
Is there anything good or bad about anything happening?
Lets say Person A used to be overly stressed and conscious about everything. One day, she decides its far too tiring and decides to let go of everything and not bother. After awhile, she'll probably realize she's merely wasting time by not doing anything. Then she'll pick herself up and does what she thinks is important, without caring too much about everything.
By experiencing over-consciousness and apathy, two direct opposites, she'll be able to know when she's leaning too much to one side and get back to the 'equilibrium'. Isn't this 'balance' what we're constantly trying to achieve in life?
What I'm saying about nothing being 'good' or 'bad' is that, in context, someone stressed might need alittle apathy, and someone apathetic might need alittle stress. We can't simply say apathy is bad because it might be good to someone elses. It really depends on what the person needs and if you're not the person, you wouldn't understand, would you?
Person B might look at person A and say "she's so stressed and overly conscious" (in a negative tone, obviously). At another point, person C might look at person A and say "This apathy will bring her nowhere".
They were both judging person A at the current situation they're looking from, but have failed to either understand her history, or imagine what she might do in the future. They can't be blamed (not to say they're not wrong), because its only normal to judge others based on what we see. We can't control what others think, right?
Instead of trying to prove to others what we're capable of, why don't we work based on how much we know about ourselves?
Because we're the only ones who knows our own past, current situation, and by understanding these - our future. Nothing's good or bad, only we know what's good or bad for us.
