Our problem is apathy

No, that doesn't ring true to me even though I hear everyone say it including myself sometimes when I get frustrated.

I think our problem is much more unsettling, our problem is believing being as busy and productive as possible is a sufficient placeholder for boredom, for apathy, for space to understand and let others exploit resources we could have raced to first but left as a gift and that the genocide of indigenous peoples and cultures all over the world is a desperate attempt to make us forget the wisdom and power of letting things be.
