Perhaps this is totally real or I may just be an ambivalence trigger for some folks. I must admit, I've had that experience and that may have something to do with it. But I also see it in the world...a lack of passion for anything other than the grind. Perhaps because the grind has become so difficult and it's so much easier to have virtual lives and virtual relationships with people because life has so worn you out, that the idea of engaging other human beings is just too much to bear...
I call it ambivalence...perhaps a lack of passion for anything involving your heart or connecting to other human beings deeply is what's on the table here...not sure....
(stay tuned as i figure this shit out)
