The Perils of Indifference

1. Salvation takes time when Nobody is Around.


2. Situations where something appears normal at first glace, and later turn into an unexpected outcome happen all the time. Such as my experience when I was told I won a prize and it was down at the police station. As I arrived at my destination, I was immediately cuffed and booked, and it was only three months later that I found out that they had made a mistake, and apprehended the wrong person. This of course did not happen to me, but it has happened many times in history.



3. The story relates to the other story, "The Lottery" in the way that there is a society affecting another group of people. The population that is being devistated is neglected, and the society that is affecting the other group is unaware of the pain and torture they are causing many other people. In "The Lottery", the town tortures the one person who gets picked, and in the "Perils of Indifference", it was the Jewish society who was being neglected by the other cultures while they were being exterminated.

Ignorance is Bliss

How does one suggest that ignorance is bliss? Why would people not want to worry about our corrupt society? There are so many problems going on that nobody is aware of, and gets no attention whatsoever. While many people are suffering, many more are unaware of the help they are able to provide to others in this time of distress. Ignorance is bliss at times, but when the world relies on other citizens for support for national support, everyday they are shocked at the fact that so few of us actually pay attention to a crisis happening half way around the world. Yes, it is farfetched that everybody knows about it, but it is dissapointing that only minor amount of people actually know about these problems, and fewer even support these problems. Ignorance is bliss at times, but for many of us, ignorance should not be so bliss.
