Unfortunately, few people think about what makes universal indifference to people? Many of us are used to not noticing other people's troubles, but it would be worthwhile to think about the consequences of such connivance? In my opinion, it is indifference that causes many social problems that concern us all.
Consider an example from the story of V. Astafyev “Lyudochka”. The heroine came to the city to earn money, earned money as a cleaner in a hairdresser, dreaming of growing up to a master. Her father drank long ago, her mother started another family, so the girl was left to her own devices. Not surprisingly, in the city she also did not meet with proper support. Once returning home after a shift through the park, she accidentally stumbled upon a criminal who had returned from prison and his comrades. He attacked her and raped her. Other guys also participated in this crime. The unfortunate victim barely made it to the house where she lived with her work colleague. The elderly woman reacted indifferently to the complaints, not giving any significance to the incident. Then Luda went to her mother in the village, but even she did not show sympathy for her condition. Not finding help and responsiveness, the girl committed suicide. A disregard for attitude can lead a person to despair.
Another example was described by A.P. Chekhov in the story "Tosca". Jonah lost his only son, but no one wanted to listen to the unfortunate old man. He rode the streets until late at night, trying to talk to passengers, asking for only sympathy. However, among the diverse riders there was not one who would like to talk about the loss of Jonah. Disappointed in people, the hero was languishing from the longing that overwhelmed his chest. Neither the janitor nor his colleague wanted to devote a couple of minutes to the poor cabman. So he spoke to the horse in the hope that at least she would understand and not condemn him.
Thus, indifference destroys people. They go crazy and go to extremes, separated from society and loved ones. It becomes painfully difficult for them to live, so many of them prefer to die so as not to see the abyss of indifference in the eyes of the interlocutors.
