Conscience is dead in the sea of apathy and ignorance. Only compassion can revive its dormant flame - TemQBS Thought • Proverbial Quote

“ CONSCIENCE
is dead in the sea of
APATHY and IGNORANCE.
Only COMPASSION can
revive its dormant flame. ”

Quote Interpretation:

• When people are indifferent and ignorant to the suffering of others, their conscience becomes numb and essentially "dies." Apathy and ignorance can lead individuals to turn a blind eye to injustice or cruelty, numbing their sense of moral responsibility.

• However, compassion is the antidote to apathy and ignorance. Compassion, by definition, involves feeling concern and empathy for others, particularly those who are suffering. When individuals cultivate compassion, they awaken their dormant conscience and are motivated to act in a way that aligns with their moral values.
