I have trouble taking meaning from the "bullshit" sentences. At some point in trying, part of my brain begs me to give up while another asks me to go on. I feel a similar way when I see the same person every day asking for money due to "hard luck.". Is this a professional or a victim? If I give this person money am I hurting myself and/or hurting them? Difference between these situations? In second case, another human's well-being is at stake. In the first case, I could lose some novel insight. Both cases carry a cognitive load which I must avoid bearing for the sake of my over-worked brain. Is there a word for a kind of apathy that does not suggest immorality or lack of empathy?
