I feel my hands are incredibly tied to be as neutral and supporting as possible.
Any thoughts? Or should I expand further?
I''ve thought about this a bit more Wander, and maybe would ask some followup questions:
1) what you call 'indifference', is that the sense of not being moved or agitated by the events you see in front of you? I mean, the sort of things that used to make you angry, or upset, you now reach a state where it doesn't 'bother' you?
2) what is probably more important, do you still have an acute sense of empathy/compassion when you see suffering? if you do, then that is most definitely STO - you are placing/feeling in their shoes as if it was yourself.
you can have number 2 without number 1. Number 1 can disable an individual from making smart, appropriate decisions, because all you have is seething emotion like anger or rage or disappointment in your heart.
with Number 2, you feel the empathy/compassion, and are moved to service when the opportunity arises. There is no 'indifference' in this sense.
Hope that clarifies things
