Of ideals and sanity

Lately, the idealistic side of this skeptical mind seems to be rearing its head a little too frequently. It leads the mind to believe that when people know what is wrong, they will cease to do it and instead choose to do what is right. But of course, this reasoning is flawed. What makes this mind think that everyone would do the same? What makes this mind think that others would care if they were uttering something completely wrong? The "tidak apa" attitude just says, "So what? So what if I'm wrong, as long as you know what I'm talking about?"

So, it is time to stop caring. (Again.) It is time to adopt the "tidak apa" attitude, right back at these people. After all, if they do not want to help themselves, there is no way other people can help them.

Do not help unless asked. Do not care what happens to them unless if they, at least, care too. It is the only way to keep this mind sane.
