Nothing is Going to Be the End of Everything

I’m beginning to believe that “nothing” is going to ruin us.

Sure there are big companies selling poisonous products and factory farms cranking out hormone pumped, antibiotic laden meats. Sure we have insurance companies who refuse to insure us and doctors who seem to care less about our health. Don’t even get me started on how the government seems to be unperturbed by the power of mega industries like big tobacco and giant corporations like Monsanto. But these days apathy is the true threat, because without apathy none of these things could exist. We can choose to do something, or we can choose to do nothing at all. More and more doing “nothing at all” seems to be the winner. It's so much easier to do nothing than it is to do anything. Nothing is going be the end of everything.
