Torah in Ten: Tzav
Apathy Vs. Passion
There is a humorous anecdote told of an English studies teacher who once asked her student, “What's the difference between ignorance & apathy?" to which the disinterested student replies, "I don't know and I don't care".
In truth, the two are actually closely linked.
The lack of education can lead to indifference, and a lack of interest can result in ignorance. However, passion is the key to success and personal growth. Without it, we can quickly become jaded and lethargic, leading to career burnout and a disconnect to family and friends. With passion, we can remain optimistic, upbeat, and satisfied with our careers, and our relationships can flourish.
