Question

Does Apathy release a person from the tragedy of death?

Answer

Apathy releases a person from the responsibility and burden of having to care. It allows them to ignore what should be felt when something as horrible as death happens. Being sad because of something dying is a natural and healthy reaction. Anything else is an adverse reaction that will lead to pain. Its easier in the short run. Apathy is always easier in the short run, and severely damaging in the long.
