indifference
Yesterday a High-level Event was held at the UN General Assembly to assess the Millennium Development Goals. A number of people spoke, among them Bill Gates.
The Prime Minister of Great Britain, Gordon Brown stated: “I believe our greatest enemy is not war or inequality or any single ideology or a financial crisis; it is too much indifference. Indifference in the face of soul destroying poverty. Indifference in the face of catastrophic threats to our planet. A casual uncaring corrosive pass by on the other side, walk by indifference as Elie Wiesel said “to be indifferent to suffering makes the human being inhuman”.
